Well, I've gone through two tankfulls and my MPG hasn't changed. The
top-end acceleration has improved slightly and I finally noticed the
"whistling noise" that Alan S. had mentioned to me. I don't have a G-Tech
handy right now so I wasn't able to run a HP or 1/4 mile tests to see if the
claimed 10HP on the V6 is actually there or not.

Overall opinion: For a modified V6, the Poweraid "Helix" TB Spacer doesn't
quite match what the company claims but did help my top-end to the point
that I will keep it past their 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee timeframe for
further, long-term testing. Honestly though, save the $100 and put it
towards something else. (Nitrous refills in my case) Although...It may
work great on a stock V6 or V8.

$0.02
