Are they the 1.7s or just rollers? Did you feel much of a power gain? Was thinking about getting the 1.7s but don't wanna waste the money if they're not worth it.

What range of power does the 1.7's help? Bottom, mid, high? And do they hurt mpg's?

Should help throughout the range as they open the valves another .100 on intake and exhaust. More air in and out.

Actual valve lift increase is only about 0.030"... They help throughout the entire RPM range and increase gas mileage.
