Don't do it!!!!

Friend of mine spent the $70 bucks to get one and it didn't do a thing.

Consumer Reports also tried and and nothing happened. If you've got a
carburated engine it might help there but on multi port fuel injected
engines like the Mags I doube it does any thing other than maybe block air
flow.
