Snake Oil?

Just saw a segment on CNN. They were "blessing" this thing called the "liberator" a fuel swirler that fits behind the throttle body. OK I know its probably junk and a fools purchase, but are CNN and Kenny Wallace so hard up for air time and cash that they would sell themselves for this? Sad, and I'm sure lots-O-folks will be in line to purchase this.....

Mmmmmm..... maybe they have one for a C5

Been selling these things for years at motorcycle rallys. I've seen them advertised for cars, too. I've never known anyone who tried one, but you go ahead and buy one and let us know how it works.

How does it "swirl" fuel from behind the TB? I think I hurt myself trying to wrap my head around that.

All there is is AIR behind the TB till just above the inake valve where the injector is-most of these goofy things were designed for TBI setups where the injector(s) were part of the TB.
