Re: Hp gain HELP

It may free up a few ponies. I hear more about U/D pullies increasing throttle response more than concrete gains.

Re: Hp gain HELP

well how about the airfoils that mount on the front of the throttle body or the high flow mass airflow sensor, any gains there?

Re: Hp gain HELP

Nothing noticeable. The air foil is a basic bolt-on, and I think 90% of LT1 owners have one. Don't replace the MAF, just descreen it for now. They are good for 400+ hp. I've heard 500hp for LS1's.

Re: Hp gain HELP

Those things are a WASTE. If you are considering getting one, send your money to me instead.
