Message	enough horror stories to make that a question. You say the main reason is vibration. The best you can do is as-good-as-stock, and you might do worse. If power is the main goal, that's different, but my guess it's that it's not much. Again, I'll ask, does anyone actually know the power gain from a one piece?
