Yes, though once you start stacking other mods the effect seems to be less noticable.

Maybe chalk it up as my costs to the greater cause lol.
This is one of those mods that all the evidence out there is anecdotal so people are always going to take it with a grain of salt or treat it as confirmation bias. The only real thing you can do is post a baseline dyno and a post install dyno to show real results. That is a lot of money to prove something to people on the internet. If you do this and are happy with it, cool.

You have to remember there are a lot of people that tout the difference they feel running lightweight pulleys, flywheels, driveshafts, and Pilot Sport 5's so we get a little jaded when someone says I did "X" and notice this difference but have not other information to provide other than what they feel.
