I've never heard of anyone swapping them.

How could there be any difference when they're the same?

[QUOTE=Michaelangelofb;7656105]so what are the pros to this swap?[/QUOTE


PRO : better flow = more power ........CON : restrict flow= less power

sorry if it seems that i'm being a smart ***, the swap is worth it !!!!
