Hello,

1) They are correct. My 245 still has it's nice, torquey bottom end plus it now has great passing/acceleration power between 2500 to 5000 rpm.

2) Not at all!!! 189 new, that's about 12 bucks an HP.

3) My VX equipped 245 had no appreciable change on the emissions test, and cruising along normally, gets the same fuel economy. It's when you use the power that you start blowing back fuel.

4) A, B or K cams will have similar effects, just not as drastic. $$$ proportionate to results.

I would consider the VX a great value, and one of the only options to get dyno proven results out of a N/A 240.
