So in that sense, $30 for an airfoil that gives 1 rwhp isn't that bad of a deal after all.
And yeah just get a stock ported 52mm TB. That's fine unless you need something for a HUGE amount of hp. Thunderracing sells em for $225. Not too bad, that's what I have on my car.

I was lucky I guess. I will take 15 rwhp for $250 anyday.

I saw an ad in my Super Chevy mag from Holly that showed Late model parts. One was their version of the air foil, a clip in black one. It had a quote from a magazine saying 5.8hp at the wheels on a Z. I was totally against them, but after hearing that from a few sources, it makes you think it might be worth at least trying.
