Cool man, I'll take one of these, and E-ram for forced induction, a cool collar and a few of those magnets to clean up my fuel. Oh yeah, and a case of stickers... Hahaha, I'll be the only one in here with a 500HP SC with stock motor

"Typical range of improvement over baseline is:
0 to 35 increase in horsepower, 0 to 31.85% increase in fuel economy."

wayne, you need to start carrying these. See if they have 30mm versions, if so, I will buy six and install them in my intake runners
![]() Sad thing is, they probably sell like hotcakes. What would be even more sad is if they actually work ![]() Chris |

i like that 0 to x promise i guess that leaves them out of harms way for false advertising. in the hvac industry those devices are called air blenders and they look the same.

i suspect the power and gas mileage improvements will be more towards the "0" than the higher range listed on the site.

I would only buy this product if Billy Mays (the oxy-clean guy) or Jan and his "Spacebags" tells me about it in a 30 minute infomercial.
