This is a good point Brandon, and a few that have switched have had similiar results. Some see a big improvement, others see some improvement, and a few have said they noticed a little power loss. The Marine nozzle is a good base to use, it's main issue is the 155° pattern, if this can be tolerated, a standard VCO nozzle of the same hone size cannot compare. There are many benefits to the blind-hole nozzle, and a few drawbacks mostly dealing with hydrocarbon emissions. The Marine nozzle is micro-blind, however Bosch also has a mini-sac nozzle that looks externally identical, yet has the 145° pattern. The problem with both versions is there is not much material when the hone is increased much more than 0.014", the reason I am going a different route.
