There's 10% more fun to be had, basically. No matter how you put the power in there, you get more stress on the driveline by the time it reaches the ground. The driveline pays the price no matter how you put extra power in there. With these systems already making 300whp, I would think weight removal would be just as effective or more so. "I would not let it stall your plans" is what I'm trying to say.

The gains need to be put into perspective. Yes, we have dyno results. Yes, the gains are there. There is no silver bullet, though. This is not a freakishly unreasonable power gain with the +plus mod. We didn't turn straw into gold. It was a nice little bump in output, honestly undeserving of the drama surrounding it. The 335 is there if you want to prove something. The 210 was meant to be fun, and the plus mod would be "10% more fun". Looking at it pragmatically, you could make the same power on a 75mm pulley that you did on a 69mm pulley, and not stress anything out in the process.

Again, weight savings would be equally useful.
I'd love to see someone get anywhere near 300 whp with 91octane and this kit. But its not going to happen. If the 210+ can get to the 275 whp I'm reading this as then that's fairly significant, to me at least.
