    Hey everyone, I am wondering if this is worth looking into. Does it really do anything, and if so, does anyone have any specs on it? I can make one myself, just need to know some numbers to know how big to make one.

    meh, there a waste of time and money. If your supercharged the heaton already super heats the air as soon as it enters it.

    They are a waste. Think about how much the entire engine bay heats when sitting still. Heat won't go up only. And when moving,... airflow.

    Don't get a tb spacer either.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
