Blink... you don't think the 10 hp would translate to .2 off 0-60 time? What increases do you think you could expect... if any? 10 hp is about a 4.5% increase in my 217 base hp. (Their web site claims 15 hp increase, and an almost 8% increase in torque....from 220 to 235 hp and 192 to 207 torque. This specifically for the 2.7 01 base. 15 hp is almost a 7% increase over the 217) Either way, I would think (with absolutely NO basis for the conclusion) that a .2 increase would be achievable. But I could be all wet too. Enlighten me please. If there's no discernable expected increase in performance then I think I'd be wasting my money?
