Well that should make for an easy test for anyone with a scangauge and a set of pulstars. Just go out for a drive and monitor TPS (or MAF if you have it as an Xgauge) at a fixed speed with and without the pulstars.

If you have an ODBII data logger you could even log TPS or MAF on closed loop accelerations too. That should prove the point.
