depends. it increases airflow. it may add one or 2 horses, but combined with other mods it will multiply its effect (eg, increasing intake, then getting it out faster with headers, etc)

Unless your highly highly modded it is useless spend the cash towards a CAI or bigger TB instead.

Yeah no TB spacer...A bigger TB will help only if you port the upper intake to match
