Default The ad says "add up yto 13 HP for under $50?

"The Throttle Body Air Flow Booster pumps in more horsepower and torque per dollar than any part in the aftermarket industry" so says Mid America on page 5-A. I read here on the Forum that the Air Coupler increase HP by 1.5 for real.

Has anyone tested this Throttle Body Air Flow Booster? I would like to know if this is hype or for real?

Thanks,

Dan

There is no such thing as cheap horsepower. :rolleyes: Once the computer readjusts the LTFT's any power gained from a mod like this will be adjusted out. :(

If you bought everyone of those "CHEAP" mods that advertised a couple of more horsepower, you would have a 600 HP car that would get 40 MPG. :smash:
