Hey, with these engines, pretty much any gain is significant.

d12boy420 · 02-23-2011, 07:37 PM

yup they add about 20 hp. definitely would probably notice a difference.

ROFL! Than add the HP chip and gain another 400 hp right?

With older cars MAINTENANCE gives you the most horsepower gains!

A 20% HP gain would be about what you might expect from a low-pressure turbo... I have to wonder why anyone buys a TB spacer for any engine that isn't TBI. Even on a TBI, they didn't do a whole heck of a lot- you can shelve TB spacers up there with those "cyclone" air filter inserts.

Haha that was quoted from my stupid friend. Those hp chips are the biggest scam ever lol. And that is very true, I had a clogged EGR valve and unclogged it and I seem to be getting so much better mpg now.
