if they are set up properly(no vacuum leaks, proper balanced linkage) and jetted correctly they will give you better consumption than the PDSIT's PROVIDED that you dont hammer it all the time... if you use the extra performance then you will have to pay for it of course

I don't want groenie to hang around my parents place being unused and I cant think of a better car to cruise around slovakia with.....
