Well considering that the sum total of all the changes including internals, exhaust, intake system and tune was only 5HP then there would be virtually zero benefit to changing just one component. We never have found any truly sensible reason why all the changes were not made to the autos but it is probably safe to assume it was strictly due to some emissions control reason.
