So far I think this is a keeper .
Do you think the full throttle runs without changing the filter would have made the engine feel more responsive and eager anyway due to the way it 'adapts'?

We really need to see this product on an independent dyno (not linked in any way to the tuner / seller of the product) and see the before and after power runs with all the details. Very easy to produce false HP increase on dynos as a means to sell products (such as tested in wrong gear / strapped down too hard etc) but when given all the info, it's possible to spot the 'rigged' graphs.
