what kind of hp/torque improvement? is it really noticeable when driving? and what about fuel efficiency?

thank you.
The best place to look is on the DINAN website - choose the options for the 3.0 and it gives ALL the details you need, but I can tell you it is definitely worth it. To me, it feels like it has 50 more hp in normal mode, kick it over to Sport or Manual mode and it feels like 75 more hp!! As far as fuel efficiency, it's supposed to help because it just makes everything smoother, but in sport & manual mode, I just don't see it saving gas......it is a true blast to drive after these installs. I said before on here - I was in love with the X before, but after these Dinan installs, I've fallen in love all over again........
and it is VERY noticable when driving. I highly recommend it to anyone with a 3.0 that doesn't have a chance to own the 8........
