I love it! Definitely worth the 4 hours it took me. 1.5 to remove the cover, 1.5 to remover the limiter itself after I dropped it down in there once and an hour to replace everything. I even installed allen head screws in place of the slotted screw bits. It took so long because I left the oil filter on the motor.

As for my EGTs, they went up. Surprisingly not as much as I thought though. Maybe its due to the cold ambient temps here but my EGTs still have yet to get above 1000*. Even while I get on it on the highway, they stay around 750-850*.

As for power, I've got plenty! Being the fool that I am, I didn't get a baseline 0-60 time, but I can say that the car feels exponentially faster. Of course this is a relative term as I'm not driving a Bugatti, but it is much more quicker than before. The biggest change in power is above 2000 rpm. I also have very little black smoke. Only a faint wisp when I rev in Park.

I will answer any questions anyone has along with post more results as they come up. For now I'm going to enjoy my power increase.
