Default Do Flow Boosters Work?

Hey, was just searching around online for parts and such, came across a product by SLP called the Flow Booster.

SLP Flow Booster

Does this actually work?

not going to help much on a stock motor. once u run out of other ways to get more airflow like heads, intake, tb, then u turn to the little gains like this that lessen the turbulance.

I don't see how that would help your car at all...

i dont think it will on a stock motor. its when u start moving air to the max the system will handle then u get dead air areas, like right in front of the tb, that slows the air flow just a tad. a one butterfly tb is another way around it.

Variations of that part have been around since the first TPI appeared in production in the early 80's. Then it was called a AIR FOIL and SLP had one by the same name. I bought one in1988 and it is still on my car...gains about the same as K&N filters, or very small.
