It would probably make 10/15 more with stock wheels and tires on, but it wouldn't look as good or hook up with "ONE LEG"

tq comes with cubes my mods done to a 6.0L would be a ways down the dyno charts.

My goal from the start was to make a 5500+ truck, beat my friends stupid programed/catback gt mustangs. Hate those cars

Just my .02 cents most people think they are stupid and a waste of $100 is see it as the same gain from porting your stock 78mm throttle body or using premium vs 87

Get the VHP cam haha
Do you really really believe everything you read on a box?

even if that little spacer was able to create some kind of spiral of air down the intake, that "spiral effect" (lol) would get broken as soon as the engine started pulling the air down the intake runners.

if it worked everyone would have one...even if it was only proven for a .5 hp gain everyone would have one. magnets on your fuel lines on the other hand....BIG power.

Spiral effect... the air has to be pulled thru the Throttle body, and then start its 180* bend goin up, over and then down into the cylinder..



If its something thats gonna swirl the air, dont you think its a restriction?



IF your theory is correct, why dont you have a Tornado also??
