By themselves though, I would think adding 20 whp up top, and about 4-8 everywhere else is not too bad.

Also, Your argument is people are wasting money on something that doesn't help the car or hurts it's performance.... To be honest, isn't that what you did by buying an IPL? it's performance advantages are slim over the standard G37 but yet it costs $10,000 more.
