	Maybe, maybe not.  I don't put much stock in what I read in the
mags... they've gotta support their advertisers, if you know what I mean.
When was the last time a product review said "this thing is a piece of
crap!  Don't put it on your VW!"?

	A while back db&HVWs did some dyno testing on modified engines.  I
graphed the results & put them up on the web.  Have a look & decide for
yourself what the magazines are all about:

discussion, but the "read it in the mags" angle...:)
