Ive read it helps the 305 and 350's. However, its nothing that a good custom tune would take care of.

Re: ***PENNY MOD*** y/n

i am bumping this old thread cuz i was wondering if the penny mod really works on v6's i have read a few things about v8s but nothing about people doing it to a v6. are there any negatives to this mod? what are the benefits of the extra fuel pressure?
