Do Not look for any Big (if any) Hp or TQ gains with a AirFoil. Its a mod that may help something else out for increased performance.
I have had one for several years now and almost forgot it was there. Just buy the least expensive one you can find. SLP has them for $26 sometimes.

On a stock engine you probably wont see any gains (i didnt) On the other hand, if you already had work done to your intake (port, polish, etc) then your engine might respond to the airfoil a bit more.

Just like the others say it wont help much but combined with other things it will make a differance.
