It's common tuner wisdom that increasing airflow & reducing exhaust restrictions increases an engine's ability to make power. Of course, more available air only translates to increased power output when an engine's ECU adjusts to this new condition by adding more fuel to the mixture.

With the ECS Hi-Volume Fuel Pump Upgrade, the sky is the limit, offering up to 50% more fuel flow.
