I replaced my Stromberg with twin SUs about 9 years ago. I definitely
noticed an increase in high-end zing.
IF you have a set of SUs in good condition, they offer one
of the most cost-effective and least disruptive ways
to increase performance.
But about a year and a half ago I put the Stromberg back on to pass emissions,
and I have been too lazy (or busy with other things) to put the SUs back again.
