sure, what it does is tell the computer the air thats comming in is colder, so the computer dumps more fuel into the engine which is supposed 2 add horsepower. it can cause more damage then good.

 

what ya can do is put a small hole under the airfilter in the boxto let more air in.

Judging just by the amount of black on my Lumina's exhaust I'm gonna say my car runs leaner then my mom's Acura lol

 

That Acura you have to polish the tips every month or so to get the black off....but yet my Lumina is the one that smells like gas when you walk by it idling lol

The thing is, the car doesn't actually run rich.......the PCM will see an increased level of fuel via the oxygen sensor and turn down the injector's pulse width.
