They are more than worthless, they are a waste...and probably a hazard if any of the plastic or thin metal blades break off and enter your engine.

We make fun of those very often here.

I know there are lots of them on ricers...otherwise he wouldn't still be selling them.

Can't wait to see one on a ricer at a car show somewhere so I can rip into him, and ask him if it helps him as much as the bleacher bench spoiler bolted to his rattling trunk lid.

It's a bilge blower, used on boats. Not to blow air in the engine, but to suck vapors out of the bilge.
It will not generate any significant pressure.

Guys, Guys, Guys,

Have you at least thought about how cool that would be on your riding lawn mower? Be the first on on your block with a turbocharged John Deer!

common guys... it's gotta be true... didn't you see that advertisement, the only thing missing is the paid endorsment of the past customer's use and successfulness of the product. Yeah if we all really got 30% increase they sell faster than Cams, Lifters, Heads... which is what gives you the umpf when set up right.
