just wondering if anyone has experience with the cheaper knock off parts. I was flipping through e-bay and saw Pro heads, immitation vic jr heads. I also saw an add thing on here for a "toy" supercharger for 70$. Then there is the Tornado. do any of these things actually work?

I am not that concerned. I spend $$ on what I want, don't go the cheap route. Just for information pruposes.

I think the heads could be good, dont know first hand. Like joe said, that tornado thing is just a joke.

The Tornado is a fugging JOKE! Might as well open up a bag of socks and stuff them sumbitches right in the intake.

We did a little test on one years ago, we put it in my friend's 96 GT without telling her, the next day she asked us wtf was wrong with her car because it felt alot slower. She didnt know it was there, so it wasnt a mental thing and still noticed the car slow down.

Their commercials are so fake, look the the dyno "scale" thing on the wall, I have never seen a dyno with a little needle meter thing. Those fugging doucebags!

I Didn't think that worked

Now as for knock off heads and stuf. Are they durable? I am thinking of building another spare engine with cheap parts just for somthing to do. Would they do alright. I know there is the typhoon intake ,is that any good?
