Few upgrade questions???
First up, does the MAT sensor relocation kit from corvette central actually work?(dyno proven and butt dyno proven)
And does the air foil inserts do anything? (dyno proven and butt dyno proven)
Thanks
Kris
*Add any mods that are worth while... cheaper and expensive

They don't help all that much. The MAT reloc is free though, just splice in some wire. Here's a site with dyno results, not on a Corvette though.

Depends on who you ask. Some say yes, others no.
If I remember correctly, the Mini-Ram is setup for a MAT relocation, relocating it to the accordian bellows and I believe some of the newer Vettes have it moved from the intake too.
As far as the airfoil, T.P.I.S. claims it does improve airflow, and some of the aftermarket throttle bodies have the airfoil built in.

So, the airfoils gives 2.4 RWHP to the L98. What their ad says, 15?
