# I only noticed a smoother idle; which, was worth it. n/m

Plus a little rant on my part. posted by NicZ on October 03, 2003 at 23:11:24: : The installation was really easy. The motor is noticeably smoother at high rpm, and strangely my idle seems to have smoothed out a bit. The "Ole butt dyno" feels a little gain up top, but not much. However I think part of the idea "butt dynoing" is the sound the motor makes, the faster the motor sounds, the more hp our mind thinks there is. (i.e. exhaust, intake) Because this mod doesn't make any noise, my butt dyno may be reading a little low. As for the stereo, I didn't nottice a difference in background hiss, no biggie, thats not what I bought the kit for. I bought it because it's one of the few modifications that can be done that doesn't compromise daily drivability. I like having a car with a little power, but I hate the idea of a droning exhaust, or a rough suspension on a daily driver. ( I had both of these on my VG.) For a weekend car, I love driving my old VG, and being able to tear up the north georgia mountain roads with a nice suspension setup and an open exhaust. But because most of my driving now is back and forth from North Atlanta and FSU in Tallahassee, I have to have a comfortable car. I don't know maybe I'm just getting old. Sorry if none of that made sense. Go Blehm Co.! : Nic : : BTW, Matt, did that Neon guy come by last sunday like he said he would? Replys:
