Almost everyone I have spoken to has mentioned an increase of the
feeling of "smoothness".

I was thinking along the lines of a car with 95,000 miles that I have
not known all of its life may not have had the best of care, and even if
it did that certain parts might be operating at less than optimum
efficiency - like injectors and spark plugs wires.

I probably wouldn't get *new* power, just reclaim some that was lost......maybe.
