its total BS, on a carbed engine i could understand how the helix and the spining air would atomize fuel better, but definat BS on TPI, main reason is caue the fuel and air isnt even being mixed untill its in the combustion chamber....so its pointless

you use the html text....idiot way (my way) is to just do it in a reply post but dont actually send it or anything just setup an http:// link with whatever it uses and then copy and paste it to ur sig.
back on topic yeah i could only see causing turbulence in your plenum to be a bad thing i could only see it costing power because isnt the idea to have smooth air flow through that area?

I don't know about a bunch but it seems like a pile of week old dog poop that is laying out in the summer heat, slowly ripening with the occasional sprinkle of water to keep it juiced up and maggots crawling in and out of the pile with flies galore.
TPI doesn't need that crap

an airfoil isnt pointless. it smooths the air coming into the motor and keeps the air from whirrling around th space between the throttle blades. i noticed better throttle response and i think a lil better gas mileage.

guys don't go and raise the bs flag so fast. it is like a spacer and foil in one. yes the price may be on the high side but i bet anything it works. ok you your not going to see 22hp on a stock tpi motor. there claim is upto 22hp, so that could be on anything.

"Our goal is to provide unique top quality automotive products to consumers and business alike. We carry everything from hi-tech G2 Brake Caliper Paint to durable Chrome Wheelskins, not to mention literally thousands of hubcaps... new hubcaps, used hubcaps, replica hubcaps, any type or style of hubcap we have it."
An online hubcap store is NOT the first place I'd go for performance parts. I'd shop for parts at Wal-Mart before going there.
