Default How much power does Air foils give?

For some reason I just don't think that an air foil gives the power they say. I can see why it might give it alittle power but is it enought to feel a differents? Thanks

I have read that the only difference you will feel is your wallet will be lighter.

I had one on my car before I installed my Holley 52mm tb. I cant say it gave a sotp difference but if you just look at the design, it should increase flow. Think of it like a mandrel bent exhaust pipe compared to a crush bent. It will just flow better with a smoother transition. If you look at any aftermarket TB they pretty much all have the airfoil buiklt into the design. I'm sure they do this to increase the flow characteristics of the tb. I still have my JET airfoil. Its yours for 25 shipped if you want it. Just dont get upset if you cant feel the difference....It all does add up tho.
