I put a throttle body spacer in that gives the car a super venturi effect which gives me like 3 lbs of boost. If you think about it it makes lots of cents.

use your head. you'd have to account for turbulence so it would only be about 5lbs.

The Venturi effect is cumulative, not additive, so
3x3=9.
Unless you're Giambri. Then it's
"3 for you", and
"3 for you" and
9 for me.

I agree. Both my '8 Corvettes and my previous '12 BOSS 302 are a lot faster and a lot quicker than my '8 Z.

I would totally buy a Crown Vic. Much faster than the Z. And it attracts looks from all the chicks, especially in the trailer parks.

I'll say, name this the pedal to the metal mod. Patent it and then sell it off to Shark Tank to make money off it.
