[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 335035, member: 3960"] GG I've never bothered with modifications on anything much but history shows that sometimes slight mods make a big difference. I'm (was) in the automotive game so just as an example. Most vehicles over the years used a simple cast but inefficient exhaust manifold. A simple and extremely effective performance upgrade to most vehicles was to fit a set of extractors. Now some of these fittings were cheap and nasty causing rework before too long but some simple relatively cheap modifications made a big difference. Another common easily performed upgrade was or is to modify the camshaft altering the valve overlap giving a predetermined range of performance improvements. Saying that, a standard unmodified vehicle is usually much more reliable but why didn't the original manufacturer make these slight improvements during manufacture? Perhaps these guys that tweak the detector electronics are achieving a similar performance improvement that for some reason wasn't carried out when the original product was designed. [/QUOTE]
