Final answer, it does give you a litle more, but not much. Now when you go turbo, you will already have taken it out, so good for you, Now you know there's a go turbo before 400 post rule here right?
J/k it was suggested one time I think, but not real. Go turbo soon and you will prove your not a ricer.
