    I don't know for sure, but I highly boubt it. If this is true, you would have to have tons of other mods to compliment it. From my understanding the main purpose of this is to make throttle response more crisp.

        Airfoils are like a lot of other easy add ons. It may help a little but your Butt-Dyno will never notice it.

          There is only one airfoil that I've seen that actually helped power. Most actually lost or no gain. The one unit that appears to work is a black composite that covers the entire end of the throttle body, not just a bolt on center wing.
