A wing (1) including a vertical plate (2) and a horizontal plate (3) is placed in the throat of a carburetor (41) or throttle body (93). The wing (1) is located adjacent to and downstream from the throttle valve (46, 94). The edges (6, 7, 13, and 131) are held in a spaced apart relationship from the carburetor wall (44) by locating tabs (4, 14, 15 and 16) which abut the wall (44). Securing tabs (5, 24) extend from the edges and grip a gasket or boot associated with an existing intake manifold. The wing (1) causes the air/fuel mixture exiting a carburetor to follow channelized parallel paths (78, 81 and 84) into the intake manifold.
