Default Air Foil?
I have the LT1 and a buddy of mine keeps saying I need to put an air foil on my throttle body. Anyone else done this? Comments about it?

The general consensus seems that the airfoil makes no noticeable improvement. Sorta like the chip, MAT relocate, etc

Save your money. There is no appreciable gain to the airfoil.

Default Thanks
Thank you guys for the quick responses. I knew I never bought one for any of my LT1's for a reason. Also I emailed my buddy that page so he could see it too.

My airfoil gave me a full 2 seconds in the 1/4 mile. Just ask the maker of the airfoil. They'll tell you so.
