Snake Oil my friend, snake oil. Stuff like that will "try" to fool the PCM but think of your car this way... It's too smart to fall for something as silly as that. To utilize mods, you need to tune it, of buy a PCM. Milzy can hook you up for around 100 bucks or so. If you want check him out at Milzymotorsports.com

If my leaf blower was that weak Id be friggin' pissed! LOL Try this, open up your intake tube at your MAF, leaving the MAF in place and plugged in. Start your car then put your hand over the MAF opening, scare the crap out of you? Yea, though so.... hahaha That thing would actually impeed flow and I bet your car is actually slower with it on!
