Air foil question? just got it as a b-day gift
My friends know me well, they give me car parts as B-day gifts. I got fix-a-flat since I removed my spare, I got a Jet airfoil, and a pepboys gift certificate.
The package for the airfoil states a 14hp increase
and shows a dyno of a 92 LT1 (vette). Are they serious? I've read the it was closer to 3-5 hp if not less, either way I didn't pay for it. I installed it tonight but didn't drive the car yet I guess we'll see tomorrow.

Don't expect any gain at all from one. I could see there being a small amount of gain in a heavily modded motor that was still running the stock TB for some reason.
Either sell it or install it. It won't hurt performance at all. The concept is fine, and all aftermarket TB's have a built in airfoil, but in practice they don't really do much.

See sig. I attribute my 110MPH trap entirely to the Airfoil.
The Headers and cam are purely cosmetic mods....

I'm sitting on BFG Comp TA VR4 tires right now. I'm running P275/50VR16 on a 8" wide rim also 
I don't want to throw anythng stickier on there for fear of making oatmeal out of my 10 bolt
So yeah, they just spin, spin, and spin some more
Your friends are much cooler than mine. Heh, I'll prolly get a type R sticker from mine

Damn johnpsz, you ran a 13.3@103 with just those mods? What was your time bone stock? Sounds to me like the 2.73's are the way to go for an A4 over the 3.23's.
