Is your air filter clean? Besides the by-pass mentioned I really can't think of anything else. Car running ok and do you use premium gas? Good luck!!

i think my size 13's got that covered and no i havent done the tb bypass, will it affect driveability/reliability?
how much might an airfoil be worth?

well how did it go? Did you get some numbers?

unless you drive in frigid cold weather the TB bypass won't hurt drivability or reliability. The airfoil is not worth a whole lot.
