Default Crawford eco block?

http://crawfordperformance.com/product/eco-block-q2/ has any one seeing or heard anything about this? Apparently this was used and tested in t.c.s.

It is a MAF spacer block. It works by pulling the MAF a little bit out of the direct airflow causing it to think the engine is ingesting less air, therefore causing it to run a little leaner than it would normally.

Theoretically, it would work, but I'm not so sure that the computer wouldn't just compensate for it based off the readings coming from the other sensors.

I came to the same conclusion. I figure for 40$ ill get it and see if there's a difference. I would like to get a video camera to make a review for every one else. Ive seen people block their MAF's so they dont get a CEL on stock tune with more air flow. But ive never seen it for actually increasing horsepower.

I ordered one. It should be here thursday. My car seems to run rich, maybe this will balance it out (I know it's the wrong approach but I figured why not for 40 bucks).

I'll let you know if it does anything

i'll be waiting for your review. for $40 might seem interesting enough.

though the clearance between my strut bar and my MF sensor is already super small....not sure if it would clear if i added this thing

Got the unit, install took a few minutes, real easy. I have been driving with it for over 400 miles, no CEL (which I had before I installed this, either from my header or intake).

Gas mileage hasn't changed much unless I am doing nonstop freeway, then it seemed to be getting maybe 2-3 more MPG than normal. Also haven't really felt an increase in performance, but power curve does feel more balanced
