Jet airfoil

I'm getting an air foil for my car and was just wondering if there was any difference between them? I'm looking at the one made by jet at about $40 and there seems to be no difference whatsoever between it and the TPIS one except the price. Is the Jet one any good?

Also, the one I need for my 87 IROC is p#63100. Is that correct? Plus, do you get screws with it?

Thanks for the help.

Dont expect too much.You wont really feel anything,but it will make throttle response
a little crisper.
All of them come with the hardware to install the airfoil,and yes that is the right JET part number.

Thanks for the advice.

I'm also fitting an AFPR, RAM AIR, porting the plenum and switching to K&Ns So I should feel the difference with it all working together

Yeah, you'll feel a nice differnce with that. I have the Jet air foil in my car and I wish I would have gotten the SLP or TPIS or another one. The Jet Air foil sits in the rubber boot thats infront of the TB, the others sit in the TB itself.

do your self a favor and buy the type of air foil that mounts to the TB.the jet air foil is held in with the rubber boot and is just cheap as hell.get a TPIS air foil they are the inventers of the air foil.
