It doesn't sound like you feel that much of a gain... am I wrong? Is it noticable?

It's not a huge noticeable gain, only a couple hp according to Dustbuster, but that's why i want to put it in seperate, to see if there's any difference.

That's the only reason i wanna do it in stages, cuz everyone always asks if there's noticeable gains, and I know they're not much, but there's never been definitive answers. So i'm doin em bit by bit and I'll note the improvements as i go.
