No one has one of these because they do not work.

Sorry i had to...

Dont waste your money. Just do a Tune up and maybe a O2 Sensor, that should help if your having problems.

If I were you, I'd take it out. Depending on what year you have, the MAF screen will cancel it out, so you really wouldn't feel anything. Unless you have an old old old Bonneville, but even with that, you're still only seeing at best 1 or 2 horsepower. Not wanting to rain on your parade, just wanted to let you know
