Updates? Been a while, I know...

I had that coming. My cursory search was too rushed and too narrow. ;) I'd rather have help delivered with playful sarcasm than rubbish delivered with a smile. Internet on, my oily friends.

Echo: This is awesome. Keep it going. Ignore those who struggle to "Live and let live." Have you noticed any changes in fuel economy, butt-dyno, aroma, or anything else?
