Interested in this too. I guess a lot of the time it depends on how much you use the new found power.
Since the dyno graph linked for the VAIS block-off plate shows the power loss to be between 2800-3800, that is higher than my typical freeway speeds (72 is 2500 rpm) so my assumption would be no change in steady freeway speeds unless you are at 2800 rpm or higher due to the slight power loss meaning you'd step on the gas a bit harder to maintain your speed.
Someone else mentioned the gains above 3800 rpm are worth the loss between 2800-3800. Do the rest of y'all who have done this believe the same? How many of you have automatics and does this negatively affect around town driving throttle response?
Seriously considering the block off plate due to the big gains above 3800 rpms at such a low cost. Just want to be sure that midrange drivability isn't affected too much since it might be a little while before I change plugs and do the intake spacers.
