It definitely improved throttle response and power per my G-Tech RR runs. 3 runs stock to get my baseline, then 3 runs with the Volant.
I can't speak for the 21 hp gain because that's measured on an engine stand and taken at the flywheel under ideal conditions; and probably at sea level. But my G-Tech registered 8 additional hp where the wheels meet the road. And that's REAL WORLD hp including wind resistance, road defects and a 4,500 foot altitude.
This isn't even accounted for on a dyno since the body of the vehicle isn't moving, and the wheels are in contact with a smooth steel roller rather than concrete or asphalt which offers greater resistance.
Road hp is the only number I'm ever concerned with, as I don't race many people on an engine stand or with my truck strapped down to a dyno.
