Yes. +35 lb/ft and a cheaper and more reliable way to go than spending money on cams, intake manifolds, headers and such.

As for the "tuners", well, if that stuff actually worked there would be tons of them on the road......and there isn't.

Don't rule out putting a cheap EBay turbo on it. Apparently, if you keep it under 7lbs of boost the factory system can work with it.
