I don't think it added any horsepower but the reduced drag coefficient DID increase my fuel mileage by .01mpg and it also eliminated a slight pull to the right.

I went from a 17 flat to a 14.5 ET after switching to a shorty.

You should also buy some elbow grease to make your engine run smoother.

Hopefully your shorty antenna comes with a decal to double your boost in performance.
