An American Standard Champion 4 Max...capable of flushing a bucket of golf balls in 1.5 seconds. Whoooosh. Honest. Check it out on YouTube. It's for the hall bath...and another for our currently being totally remodeled master bath. I heartily recommend watching the video as it is at once surreal and awe inspiring. I'm on my dang iPad and forget how to copy and paste a link but I'm sure it's easy to find. Not for the squeamish.

Ol'Pal, if your having to flush golf balls, you might want to get in to see your physician. 😳

Olpal, be sure the drains are clear and properly vented.
If you have an older house with trees, dump some copper sulfate down the drain(if it is legal where you live). If your drains are running slow, it may not be a bad idea to run a rooter through them first.
High power toilets are no match for root clogged drains, and blowback ain't pretty.

I put enzymes through on a regular basis. But this (the new master bath) is the last of many renovations we've done since moving into this house. Our existing toilets are sixties large tank type which flush only so so and take forever to refill. Hoping these new ones are "life changers". :-)

I'll keep ya posted.

Sounds like you are on top of it.
Have you ever set a toilet? I've set a few thousand in my 15 years as a plumber. It's not hard, you just have to be careful with the porcelain(and your back). I'll be around tomorrow if you have any questions.
Don't forget the wax rings.

Funny you should mention that.
 
Let's not go into details - suffice to say that my life this side of the border involves some seriously humiliating moments in hotels and that I've come to call our plunger Excalibur. :s
 
Earlier this week when my wife asked what was the first thing I wanted changed in the house, the toilet was my top choice. I fight with that darn thing every other day. :s
