So where's the real-world test? Put one in a vehicle, drive a couple of thousand miles, or at least a tank or two, and see if mpg improves.
Or a dyno

Has everyone forgotten the premise of the thing?

EFI.... intake restriction.... unless at WOT.... engine probably doesn't care if the restriction comes from the throttle plate or the rest of the intake... ?

plus instead of throwing a bunch of plastic and stuff into a landfill every 10K miles or so,
That there is just ridiculous. All the elements on my stuff are practically all pleated paper which must bio-degrade pretty well, and that lil foam seal might degrade too, I don't know how long that one takes. And replace every 10,000 miles? Maybe if you live in Iraq.
