The majority of "lost" torque is now in the midrange of the engine's powerband. This will help with highway driving and towing, and provide better passing power when needed. This more powerful midrange will always make the low end seem less powerful, simply because the engine pulls better in a different part of the RPM range. Most people that "think" they lost low end power are simply noticing that the engine pulls better in a different way, even if NO low end power was ever lost. | The majority of "lost" torque is now in the midrange of the engine's powerband.

+ | If you have a lot of low end torque to lose and want to gain maybe 5-10 horsepower, this is a brilliant suggestion, along with losing midrange efficiency and some gas mileage to boot. | ||
