When I put the Particle Separator on, forcing all that air through the combustion chamber, it needed an exhaust ( thats how i justified it in my mind anyway LOL )so I went with a 2 Brothers black series exhaust and an Attitude Power Controller as a kit. Put it all on and had my grand daughter do some driving while I adjusted the fuel levels at various positions from the passenger seat ( WOT was the most fun ). I could actually feel the difference when adjusting the controller. So in my humble opinion, I think the controllers wake up these motors somewhat with the right combination of equipment.
