Better handling 100% !
^This. The nice thing about this kit (actually, most SC kits) is the power is linear (unlike a turbo), so it is very similar to stock, except you have more. As Paulo pointed out, having the extra power does give you the ability to better control yaw since now you can control the rear with the throttle. This is where suspension and tires come in, where the transition from gripping to sliding can be gradual (good) or an on-off switch (bad/porsche 911)
