Could you "baseline" your current IP by measuring the 0-60 time, and then repeat test with the new IP? That would be nice to know. If I'm not getting any extra power for my decrease in mileage, I'll probably follow you.

FYI, it is possible to replace the seals for the bottom plate and the side plate with the pump installed, just a huge pain. BTDT. I'd do that again before I'd R&R the pump.
