Default Helix Power Tower Plus

Has anyone used this throttle body spacer in their Z ? It has a venturi effect and is advertised with increases of up to 22hp, 22 ft lbs torque and fuel gains. Is the unit quiet in operation?

You can't GET something for nothing. But, you can GIVE something for nothing.

I'm sorry, it must be OK, and engineering marvel, because I think they advertise the same gains
placed under a carb. Do they mention the helix produces a "tornado effect" to improve the "mixture".

Not sure, but I think they discovered it in a dusty warehouse,
right next to the 150 mpg carb the car manufacturers stole from the inventor and hid in the 1930's.
