them random stanless steel things that look like some prison person made? notice the stars and stripes on the web pages, ive seen 3 sites advertising this product and nothing else. my advice, dont trust anything american if its 4 sale 4 $60 and "will" increase 30hp.
but if im wrong and it isnt a stupid joke. i dont know anyone who would install it into thier car. its like putting astroturf on the panels of your car. lol
ughhhhhh....

Does it sound to good to be true?

If so, then yes, it will be too good to be true.

You mean like an air ram? I remember seeing one guy who put one on his 85 Nissan Sunny over the carb. Was sposed to force air into the carb.
However, this is not what happens. Instead, it actually uses the force of the engine sucking in the air to spin a... well... its just a fan really. Uses the cars power to acheive nothing really. It's kinda like a turbo with only the compressor :?
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

TO PUT IT SIMPILY THEY ARE HALF A TURBO
they are more efficant than a rootes type s/c which most v8s use and which is on the 4agze

if a had a spare $5g just floating around and had a nice 302 with alloy heads mmmmmmm alloy and a high rise manifold etc i would slap a vortex sc on the side
they sound twice as cool as a rootes type aswell
