For daily driving, might be nice, but for all out power and top end they do hurt it a bit.

Yeah for non sustained high RPM use they seemed to help - they also do respond to further tuning once installed, you can recover some of the power loss at the very top with increased timing (apparently lower VE/cyl pressures in that range vs without them). Even for track use though I'd think they'd benefit in the 5000-6500 range - anyways just curious. Thanks for the reply
