^What he said

Short runners = higher end power gains
Long runners = lower end power gains

Do you have any idea how hard it is to gain 8whp on a D series with a part that only takes 30 minutes to install?

I'm saying, I wouldn't get it if I didn't have a turbo. calm down

He was just trying to say that they are good for N/A too. 8whp is definitely a big gain on a D-series for a bolt on part.

I understand, I just don't think 8hp is enough to notice anything significant.

I just looked at the article, I said 8 originally, it's a 5.7HP increase
