    i found this, but sounds too good to be true...

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SINGL...QQcmdZViewItem

    i was looking for a quick way to gain HP without breaking the piggy bank, and came across this, they claim it can add 7% more HP and well i have an SXT magnum so if my math is correct then this 18$ gadget can add 16.5 extra HP - better than buying a
    280$ CAI. i thought it was too good to be true but what do you guys think?? they say it adds 1 PSI- i got no idea what thatd do. but help me out alittle guys. thanks

    yeah but i dont wanna become a ricer- because A that guy will think im ahemi because i have flomaster exhaust, then hell think its a blown hemi- and if hes got say a stock 350z or something and sure enough it can beat me- then hell go back bragging that he beat a blown hemi- only thinkg i keep thinking to myself is "patience...patience...my SRT8 is coming soon....the dark one will rise once more...."

    *you may be reading this thinking*= ok....im going to pretend i didnt hear the quotes

    No offence(I drive a V6) if you know a little something, you can tell a V6 sound, over a V8.....and 1 PSI would do nothing...

    What theory? The air coming in makes the "thingy" rotate, thus obstructing the air flow.

    Now, if we could power that "thingy" enough to pull more air in, we might have something...oh yeah, that might be called a turbocharger or supercharger.LOL


    Yep, I probably need to change my turn signal fluid. Its been awhile.

    A restrictor in your airflow passage is NOT going to do any positive things. There is one way it could give positive pressure, and that's if it's heavy enough that when you back OFF the throttle, its inertia keeps it spinning for a second. So you get a minute pressure increase when you don't need it at all.

    But it must get its energy somewhere - and that's from the air flowing into the engine.

    Making it by definition a restrictor.

    But, hey, with chrome muffler bearings and fuel injected floormats...
