I purchased one, as well. Couldn't tell any difference. A few months ago I was watching Horsepower TV on the Spice channel (formally TNN). Not sure if it was a Ford or Chev, but they completed a dyno run on a cra they were modifying, then installed an air foil, and then ran another dyno. No increase in hp at all. Very minimal tq difference. Not worth the investment in my opinion. :nonod:

I'll say it AGAIN. One dyno pull with one one car is not a valid test.
For what it's worth, Carroll Supercharging puts one on their engine packages.
