Blue CPS

Has anyone used the Blue CPS - now the Grey/Black CPS - for the international DT466? I have heard they are more reliable than the new gray cps and make the truck idle smoother - supposedly retard the timing a little. I have read that on the OBS power stroke that they may need to be shimmed. Are they worth 6 times the cost of the gray ones? What sort of shims if any are required on the '97?

I decided a long time ago not to get the blue IH cps. Jody (dp-tuner) did some tests with the blue and grey sensors a few years back. You can read the thread HERE
