No, they are not worth the cash.

Stick with stock, one of the few upgrades not needed to be done on these motors.

Just make sure the stockers are in good working condition.

Had a buddy who had them and he put the stockers back in cause they kept failing. The bling factor was cool though

It will be the biggest waste of money. Stick with your stockers.
