Yes, on a highly tuned engine such as this you will most likely notice an increase in performance and response. You should also see a small boost in fuel economy as the engine isn't having to work as hard to get you up to speed. That's not even considering the benefits V Power can have in keeping your fuel system free of carbon deposits.
