I fitted these on my Ruby about a year ago now, a definite improvement in performance and the most noticeable tweak I made, more so than when I changed from a LC to HC head!
I found that under load the engine revved less at a given speed, which makes for slightly quieter driving (haha), getting more bang for your buck.
Fuel consumption is around 35 - 38 mpg depending on driving, but as the roads are fast and heavy with traffic most of the time around where I live I need to keep up with modern cars so as not be seen as a nuisance and the car is much more usable than before (now my daily driver this year), so I have been very pleased with the flatter tappet blocks.
With my close ratio gearbox, I have quick acceleration off the mark, quite a respectable performer!
All I need now is better road surfaces...
