If its what I'm thinking, it is worthless. A friend of mine had one on his LS1 F-Body, and during a dyno day, we put his car on the dyno. We ran it once with it on, then removed it right away and ran it again, and the car had a slight gain in rwhp/rwtq upon removing it.

Don't bother

Did you compare it against the swirl max or the tornato. I think the tornato delivers better mpg








like this is going to work

Anything that ends in "...nator", can't be a good thing. If theyre marketing department couldn't come up with a better name than "Turbonator", then
