seems to do the same thing, or is it just me? New plugs, filters, intakes, plasma boosters, rims/wheels, pulleys, ECU, exhaust, etc.

I see everyone say (including myself) "It's smoother, pulls more, better at lower RPM, and even eliminates stumble"

I guess all are results of an (any) increase of HP, or performance in general. Every MOD should do that anyhow.

The "Hey Sexy.." message card felt like it made the ride more smooth.

It has been an amazing experience modding this car. Every single mod does yield a significant change in power for the engine! The intake smoothened out the low-end and gave this nice high-top end pull. The pulley just added power early on and made it pull harder from mid-top end and finally the exhaust smoothened things out like the intake but it specifically increased top end power to amazing heights. Then I still have an ECU to go for... wow.. I need tires before I get that. What's funny is the car has run flats, so lighter wheels and regular tires will make the ride EVEN better! Then I got brakes to get to and finally the sway bar. This car is insane!
