My project last weekend was to install a Lumition EI kit...I will have to
say the difference was nearly as dramatic as the upgrade from the stock ZS
to the Dual HS4s. Had to set the timing back a couple of degrees....ran
just outstanding up around 4,000 rpms, but was a bit rough in traffic.
Definitely worth the money!
