The difference is that on his vehicle, there probably is no air mass measurement, it's based on a MAP sensor, which means he's getting stupid rich mixtures at high RPM/load curves, further polluting the country.
I seriously doubt if he's getting any better fuel economy, either. Butt-dyno, my friend. That's all it is. And that's a ricer mod, done by someone less concerned with fuel economy than Clinton was with the state of affairs outside his little circle (oval?)...

haha i would agree with you. and i do on all the info but i've riden with him lol and he can't afford to drive the car like that it actually was done for fuel economy because he's a broke college student
With the MAP it will compensate the extra airflow by adding fuel right? that's why it pollutes more?
