damn its mad cheap. you prolly need a new alternator (damn did i spel that right?) to run it. the gains are kinda measly too.

I remember back on the Mitsu 3000GT boards, one of the N/A 3000GT guys worked with the maker of the e-ram. They installed 2 (dual intake) and they showed a dyno PEAK HP gain of about 5 HP, and his MPG went up 3 MPG, but total HP was only up 2.

On a tibby, for a single install, I would expect the same gain. I don't think it is worth it for the price. You can get a better gain out of a CAI and a much better sound out of your engine.

If you were to try to team this WITH a CAI, you might see a gain over a CAI alone...but for the $299, I would spend the money on Headers or a BTB/BIM combo with the CAI rather than adding a hair dryer motor to the car.

Well, if you got the money to go that far... you might as well do it all...
