it may do
but superchips usually just release top end power by increasing the rev,
i used to have a KnN on my Gsi,only had flat spots wen engine was very hot!

I got a green cotton kit on a ecotec engine. I get NO flatspots at all. Got a couple of cold air feeds to it. Good when hot and cold.

Broster thought you had a Pipercross Viper Like me, with these you dont have to worry about heat etc and flat spots cos they are sealed and behave??????
