No, it won't. It'll help a bit if you're supercharged, but other than that, it won't do a thing.

YES IT WORKS!! if your car has a carb on it haha. its just a mod that they used 30 years ago, that they can keep selling and people keep buying cause they dont know any better, even if youre supercharged.. its not worth the hassel to install.

It'll make a BIG difference, in your wallet but not on your car.

It's a gimmick. Period.
