TPI Airfoil

Just thought I'd let people know, the TPiS airfoil (59.99 Jegs/Summit) is well worth the money! I thought I had nice accelleration before, but this made it noticably better!

It's nice to know someone had a good experience with it. I noticed jack when I had it. I ended up returning it.

Whether or not you notice it, it's there.
Flowbench tests have shown real CFM gains... just a teensy jump. Those are important tho too IMO. The little things that is.

The airfoil is said to allow about 10-15 more cfm thru the stock 48mm TB.

Ok, maybe not worth $60, but when you buy a used throttle body off ebay for $30 and it comes with the airfoil and the TPiS brushed aluminum top cover, then it is worth it!
