Default FRA ?

Does anyone have actual before and after track times with this Mod?

Does it really do any good?

Thanks for accurate replys.

Noticable difference. My 99 SS picked up over 1 mph at the track from the FRA, TT & EGR free mods.

Thanks for the replys Gents.

However, I'am looking for any true on track performance gains with the FRA by itself.

Does it help, or is it just a Myth?

How could extra air flow hurt?

edit: It does slightly detract from 60' performance because you're sucking up hot air off the motor. The FTRA help negate that. I've run the same 60' with and without the !FRA. The benfits greatly outweigh the downside. Take that FWIW.
