I'm running the 205 on it atm and can't really tell any difference between it and Optimax except in my pocket. I guess I'll see what my Asbo thinks of it when I get it before deciding what it's going to be fed on. :)

You won't notice great big differences - the people who claim to notice sudden great trouser tugging differences after filling up are either making the extra noises themselves, imagining things, or had the floor mat rucked up under the loud pedal before filling up, preventing full throttle. It is worth while though for the slight swell in torque, and the long term benefits to the engine running cooler and cleaner.

But is that only on big power engines?
ye the ratio of bhp means a difference is more noticeable like 15hp - but then with 1200 to start with it isnt much to shout about

normal car on road use there isnt much in it - very fractional in fact
