Any one ever ran one of these? any advantages/disadvantages over a powercap? (room aside) Do they cover the second butterfly? If so does this really matter?

I had one on my cavalier xe, advantages getting rid of the horrible SFI box, cheaper than the powercaps and gain a small improvement in throttle response! They are the same shape as the top of the throttle body, so get the same air inlet in!;)
