Partially agree. Mod will not necessary increase FC nor will it reduce FC without incurring a cost somewhere. I can safely conclude the LCP mod DOES NOT increase my FC, still stay the same BUT with much faster gear change and increased torque and low to mid-end. Like Zen mentioned before, it does not increased HP or even torque from nothing....it just push the higher torque that usually comes from mid-range to the low end.
End result is a lose of power at high end, minor increased of vibration and noise (all cons) but great increased on low-mid end pickup and the great satisfaction of NOT allowing the darn turtles and gagas from jumping my queue in the jam. The cons might stop someone from modding it but with PE great setback of low-end torque, its an extremely useful mod and the pro will greatly outweight the cons overtime.
Don't look down on those satisfaction feeling coz it contribute to stress and driving enjoyment. These factors now makes me love driving PE (except for the FC).......without the LCP, I've been cursing all along and quite embarrassed abt its low end pickup when my wife refused to drive it complaining its pickup is like turtle (not the myvi....the real living turtle). Now even my wife commented the car pickup is a good and quite ok with driving it occasionally although its low end pickup is nowhere near my 06 city.
Cannot compared to city also because city is lighter also lah. And the cvt is much better. Also, either get power from the low end and sacrifice top end or power at top end sacrifice low end. Our stock car is using 4-1 which is also why our low end is sacrificed. Again, it is very dependent on which road you are frequent in. Yes, I get a lot better fc in city after modding to 4-2-1 but the fc in highway become higher. But then also, I dun think any stock persona running highways will complain fc bad.End result is a lose of power at high end, minor increased of vibration and noise (all cons) but great increased on low-mid end pickup and the great satisfaction of NOT allowing the darn turtles and gagas from jumping my queue in the jam.
