A little piss ant like you isnt worth being banned over.

Yea he has a bad habit of being overly sarcastic.. .. at the wrong times..

- Thu Aug 30, 2012 3:55 pm #314604 i've done alot, and i mean alot, of reading on these.

from what i'd read.
if they are less then 1 meter in height, its useless for HP and TQ gains, anything that would show on a dyno, or be worth the money for the .1% gain

unless

you are using it to disperse heat, then they can be useful but you don't gain anything but lowering temp of the TB where it mounts to the head
