Reminds me of those intake gaskets with screen. Did that idea work?

It's such a cheap part and really easy to install,, why don't you save up and try it yourself?

Then report back on your findings

I may, if I get a chance. But will not evaluate it based on winging the throttle.
Test for better launch and better acceleration and need to re tune the shooter if any.
The edelbrock afb carbs may benefit from something like this to improve transition from hiway cruise to WOT.
Pesky.

Maybe I'll have to get a paper route $$$

Ok so I bit and bought a couple as I run tunnel rams with eddy's. I did notice initial throttle response was better and seemed to transition better when going to full throttle. It's a subtle improvement but did make driveability a little better. I had a stumble on shifts as well and its gone now so...whatever. If you think is bull sh#t don't buy it.

It certainly can't make any difference unless the pumps are squirting (ie throttle moving) or slightly after.

You can see that it does atomize the booster shot which in my mind is better that just flushing water down the toilet.

If you're trying to keep mice or small children out of the engine. :)
