a CAI will give you more for about half the cost.

if you had a little 3 cylinder geo or something, then it might MAYBE give yuo something. the hemi pulls wwaaaayy too much air for this thing to even come close to helping. it would just be a restriction and likely cause a loss of power.

They are a complete dud, I could write a small essay here but this page explains it quite nicely http://www.wildweasel.ca/HowTo/Auto/eTurbo.aspx
