Fasteners act much the same as a spring due to the physics of stretch and rebound.
Customers generally look to superchargers for the instant throttle response, not fuel economy.
Variable-length intake runners change the length of the intake passages depending on engine speed and load.
Before removing the driveshaft, check for play in the yoke and slip joint. If the u-joints are failing, you should be able to see movement in the shaft as you apply leverage.
