Default Zippers Hydraulic Tensioners

Has anyone installed these? I know they are new, just thought someone might can give some information on them. What makes them any better than the OEM hydraulic tensioners on the 07 and later or any of the 06 and earlier that have been upgraded to hydraulic tensioner system?

Got a some doubt about the claims below.

What You Can Expect...

- Restores Critical Camshaft Timing Events for Both Cylinders
- Reduced Valve Train Noise by Increasing Chain and Valve Train Stability
- Improved Throttle Response, Engine Acceleration and Engine Smoothness
- Increased Horsepower and Torque Throughout the Entire RPM Range
- Increased Valve Train Component Lifespan in High Performance Applications


Thanks for any replies.
