    For some carburetor based applications, yes maybe. For most applications involving the LSx intake manifold, no. Money better spent elsewhere IMHO.

    Unless your spraying, then it makes a pretty slick way of throwing a bunch of n20 into your engine without nozzles everywhere.

    Good point. As a special application that does sound pretty trick.

    They don't claim to be big horsepower gainers. They claim to help with gas mileage. I saw 4 mpg avg. gains with throttle body spacer, airraid intake, and Hypertech. I had more power too(no doubt more from the Hypertech and intake) so I got the best of both worlds.

    Took mine off and didn't notice a difference, but this was after a cam swap, to a much bigger cam.

    Do it for the Whistleeee hahaa. I use to have a PowerAid on mine with K&N Gen II, and it use to whistle loud. Everybody thought I had already got blower for while. Heck I put a K&N gen II , and a poweraid throttle body spacer on my V6 jeep wrangler, just for the whistle. haha as far as power I think they help a lil, and MPG.
