Default TB Airfoil vs VaporPower

So it's unanimous, the TB airfoil thingy is basically worthless. Does this also mean all of those other products that tout 10 hp gains or 8-10% hp gains are as worthless as well? Personally, I’d much rather spend 100 dollars to get a real gain, rather than spend 30 dollars and get nothing. So what products really perform, and which do not? I was looking to buy the Horsepower Hot Pack at MidAmerica. WOW!!! 20HP for only 120 bucks….really?!?! Can this kit of the TB Airfoil, K&N and Fuel Pressure Regulator really be worth 20 HP? Your comments (silly, vicious & otherwise) are appreciated……really!

K&N helps.
Airfoil , well you know what people think about that.
Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator (AFPR), on a stock motor, I don't know if you are going to see any increase other than your debt. The opinions I have gotten on it has been to wait until I have some major engine work done and I need more fuel pressure.
My $ 0.02.

AFPR with no mods such as head work and cam that demand the extra fuel will just risk making the stock engine run on the rich side. On an L98 a K&N filter in combo with removal of the front MAF screen may help throttle response some.
