Vette(s): Coupe 74 - 454 Drive it like you stole it!
They have a "no question asked" return policy.
You have 30k already invested in yours.
 
Seems like you would be a good candidate for the test.
 
Only 1 thing : how much does it cost to get a dyno done?
 
I mean; if you really want to know, you have to dyno it before/after....

They did a test on PM a while back on all that kind of stuff. Bottom line none of it worked, in fact they even lost HP on some items

I got some prime swamp land you can buy. $30,000 takes it.

Save your $59.99 Lou and put it towards a N2O kit if you want more horsepower. All that stuff you see "turbonator, schmurbonator" whatever is all crap!

If you put a Summit decal on the nose of your car you can gain up to 15hp and 23% better gas milage.



Corvettes and women are the same...You want to make love to them but they keep breaking down.

I can remember years ago drooling over all the go faster, burn cleaner stuff in the Warshawski catalog (those were the days before the internet). Once I figured out that if I bought all the stuff offered I would have a car that produces 400 horsepower and gets about 40 miles per gallon.

Manufacturers and aftermarket companies spend a lot of time and effort trying to straighten out and smooth the air flow for better combustion and emission control and products like this just negate all that. What's the point of all the porting and design work just to screw up the airflow?

I've seen tests on this product & other ..it will probably give you worse gas mileage. Use things that really work

Eh, thought it was bull in the first place. But some one else was teling me it worked. I'm a very skeptical person.

If it really worked, one would think the car manufacturers would be mass producing it or improving on it to boost their horsepower ratings and increase corporate fuel economy of their vehicles. It belongs in the same class as the magnet you wrap around your fuel line and pellets you drop in the spark plug hole to make your engine new again.

You'll always find some guy who swears this stuff works because he doesn't want to admit to being taken.
