Rather see some dyno charts of ppl who have installeditfirst ....than buying it atm.
I agree. I had a 01 Chevy Siverado 5.2L and put one of these on. The butt dyno said nothing to me. And the MPG's stayed relativley the same.

My friend who bough the same truck at the same time, still has his, and he says he feels it is better in the midrange, but then again, he also has headers.

I bought the helix power tower for my gt, its only like a hundred bucks so what can it hurt, im using it now currently. Im not sure if it added power becuases ive never been dynoed, but it does make a cool whistlin sound when you hit the gas... ive had about 5 people ask me if i was superchared bcuz they can here it in there car when there next to me...but my thing is why not what can it hurt just buy it, just think of it as a nother little project you get to put on your car yourself...i also think it helped with my gas milieage, but it could all just be in my head

My opionion...buy it...
Does it fit perfectly inbetween the throttle body and the K&N Aircharger?

I have one of those, It works Great for a paper weight. No difference in power or gas milage. It's the only mod I took off the car and not putting back on.

No disrespect, if you like it more power to you, but 90 bucks is a lot of money for a lot of people..

I know this was answered but obviously he didnt read the post.....

A TBS goes inbetween the TB and the manifold.....not in between a TB and air intake, K&N or otherwise......you will have no problems using this with a CAI although it might cause the CAI to contact other parts of the car they did not before......also, using a plenium cover might not work after installing one of these pretty useless things....the plenium cover does look good as an appearance mod though and that $50-60 is worth it!
