Whether it's 0.1mm or 0.1cm or whatever, it can make a massive difference when all the other components are involved.
Totally agree - I had a works "blueprinted" Kawasaki GPZ 750 and a standard "off-the-shelf" version at one time. While nominally identical the performance difference was more than noticeable. The bluepinted 750 could even give the bigger 900R a run for its money
