Since they're just now available, no one knows for sure.

The typical claims are for somewhat improved performance (acceleration, less throttle delay, slightly more HP), and some folks claim even better FE.

For sure, the engine will breather a little easier. Whether this translates to any measurable differences for the HCH-II - who knows?

I've had them on a few cars in the past, and they seem to make a little difference for me (less throttle delay). I never noticed any FE improvement, but I wasn't looking for that.

And Adam - thanks for the update. I know you've been on this a long time.
