I am prob going to get flamed for saying this, but. I did notice a performance gain on my car from about 60 MPH +, it pulls a little better and quicker. I noticed about 1-2MPG at high speeds on the highway during long trips. Mine isn't under the car though, and it's not the wimpy little scoop setup. This is the Cervinis hood with the direct dump into the air box. You can't feel any extra power until 50-60 +, but that's about right, since the air moving across the hood isn't fast enough to matter until then. I went for this hood for look, no one down here has it and I am tired of seeing induction hoods on every other car. This entire setup for Hood/ Air Box / Kit was about $500.00. I changed to this setup after I blew up my first engine during a flood. Be very careful with the under car scoops, they love to suck in water. I sucked in about 2 gallons of ice cold flood water and destroyed my first engine. Thanks to StateFarm and Flood damage, I went from a 68K mi engine, to a brand new 0mi engine for about 800.00 in payment for INS. Not too bad for getting a totally new engine from Ford installed, and driven out. !!!!hehe
