Yes, I did. I ran the 16G's before the heads and engine rebuild, which also included larger pistons. And I did notice a difference. It seems to pull harder, especially on the high end, and my traps improved a little, from 118 to 121mph, but due to other issues I haven't been able to reduce my ET's yet. But this year.... ;-)
