Maybe....but it'd be negligible. Don't buy it, just go down to the hardware store and make your own out of hose and a plastic connector...not even really worth the trouble though. I took one hose and looped it around to the inlet and outlet on the throttle body, and used a connector to join the hoses that were going into the throttle body.

I have seen hundreds of post over the years from vendors and their victims as to the validity of this mod... it just goes to show how blind so many people can be and how some vendors have no problems sleeping at night because they know their children's college education is being paid for by these people...

I don't know why everyone is so negitive here. I did this mod and can now spin my tires and make smoke like the drag racing cars on TV. After doing this mod woman throw themselves me, at car shows everyone wants to hang out at my Vette with the hood open checking out my bypass mod.
Shortly after doing this mod I met the girl of my dreams, I was promoted at work and given an extra week of paid vacation per year. I just bought a lotto ticket and am keeping my fingers crossed.
I would recommend the mod

I've seen this mod taken one step farther...install a small pump connected to your windshield washer fluid resv. and put ice water through your throttle body...neat concept, i wonder if THAT would be worth anything?
