Velocity Stack
Velocity stack built into the Super Cooper air box. We have found that adding a velocity stack to an intake system can add 7-12 hp on most applications.

Basically yes, it smooths the air flow so that more can get into the hole.

Yeah it was exciting. It put me off because I hit the brakes to hard and put the car in a slide but I got off the brakes and drove it back out of the grass and on to the track and back to the pits. We pulled the hood and ran it the rest of the day.
