i can definitely confirm that the jdl uel that i installed along with tune makes for a much more than a 'seat of the pants' type of increase in power. i dont care enough to spend time and money on a dyno but my driving experience and lots of internet available dynos for uel's that are all readily out there show significant gains through a lot of the usable portion of powerband.
