Actually, I wouldn't even bother clicking on that link. There's so much false information in there it's not even funny.

i have noticed good things with my diy kit. lights are brighter...idle is smoother, stereo is louder. it wont make you faster by any means but its has some good benefits

i am not neccesarily looking for the fabled hp gains. but if the motor it self runs smoother then its sounds good too me...

I had problems at the 1000' mark with the ignition cutting out, turned out the ground strap on my car was corroded. Replaced it with a strap I bought at Pep Boyz for about $8, and solved the problem. If your stocker is in good condition, I doubt you'll notice any improvement.
