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

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

They are going out on a limb to promise that kind of improvement!

I'm going to go design a knock off version now, I'll promise a 0 to 50% increase in horsepower AND fuel economy, money back guarantee! Wayne, you interested in stocking my new product?

the version I'm working on will be guaranteed to increase HP, gas mileage, and attractiveness to the opposite sex from 0 to 500%.

I heard of a company that claims their version of the spiral max cures infertility. You can also smoke crack through it.

Hey all,

I dunno, but this seems to be pretty much off topic. Who started this thread anyway? Ha Ha (Wayne, don't yank my membership please).

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.

Cool

I take Wayne seriously.. he's probably reading the feed-back as the device works its way thru the Pelican Research Foundation

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.
