Yes, yes. It also probably increases the low end torque a little, which is important on a single cam profile high strung engine like this.

jonnyozero3, it's not that people who want more power are unjustified or bad, it's that a lot of them tend to be unreasonable and whiny. I think everyone understands this is a slow car, but for the price they couldn't give it more power than this, and for some reason people are still complaining, even though higher power versions, aftermarket supercharger kits, etc. are being promised, nevermind the fact that you can already go out and buy a Porsche Boxster or Cayman or Lotus or 370Z or something that has the power they're looking for.
