you know those little fan blades you stick in your intake to "swirl the air" making for "better" fuel atomization conditions. I think they made a tornado, too. . .

they are supposed to increase your hp and mpg

they sound like bs to me, as they do to many of you. . . does anyone think there claims are legitimate at all?

i think if they actually worked, then one of the auto manufacturers would have them built into their intake hoses by now.

I'm sure there is some ACTUAL scientific research out on the net somewhere... Just would have to dig a hole to china from ohio to find it..

notice how the ads says UP TO 30 horsepower? Well, that is a legit claim. Some one in bumble**** with a bizzarre setup or incorrent dyno readings may have actually gained 30 horsepower. If you gain 1 horsepower, that still fits into their claim of UP TO 30hp. they're just telling you the MAX you can get, nothing else.

Has anyone actually ever used one? All I read is that it doesnt work, but i havnt heard from anyone on here who has actually used one or dyno tested one.It would be easy because most companys charge MUCH less for a second dyno. Someone please try it, or your guys claims that it does nothing is just as much bull to me as them CLAIMING UP to 30HP. Funny how someone says something like I bet it doesnt work, then suddenly everyone says it doesnt work. I am in NO way saying that it does, but I want proof.
