Default 1992 C4 throttle body
I recently changed my intake coupler and noticed that the throttle body doesn't have a air foil. My 1988 C4 has one. Feedback on this will be appreciated. Exactly what mine looks like.

Aftermarket fix for a mythical problem. You don't need it.

That is one of the biggest things people put on to spend a few bucks and make tons of power. Only, it WON'T.

I never thought an air foil would make a ton of power. However I do think a smooth uninterrupted flow of air is better.

So the thought goes but I don't think the improvements will be noticeable if any.
