Yes and returned it. No cruising difference. Way back in 90s, IIRC. Also had friends run them back to back on the track. All swore it was faster but timeslip didn't agree

Well thank you for the anecdotal evidence lol, now I know for the future I wont be buying one. I can't believe they BS customers and claim a 12hp gain, at least if you're going to exaggerate keep it within reason

The guys who want to believe it helps will believe it.
The guys who have no dog in the fight will tell you it's worthless.

Just for the sheer surprise factor - look INSIDE the air snorkel that attaches to the throttle body of the LT1 engine.

What you may find is a plastic molded OEM part.....

No, but I did try the tin foil hat. It didn't work though, I can still hear the voices.

That's because the tin foil hat is only supposed to stop "them" from reading your mind, radio signals come in just fine with it.

Whenever I have some money lying around, which isn't often, I like to spend it on tools. Can't have enough tools. I have some tools that I'm not even sure what they're for... but I HAD to have em cause they looked cool. Still want one of those "pass-through" ratchets.
