I would pay $60 to see you dance around my car!!! But you have to be wearing a yellow tutu, swinging a feather boa, and singing, "I'm Too Sexy For My Shirt..."
I'll chip in $60 as well, and then John can post it on his web site. We'll video tape it!!!

Yeah... amazing that it's not on MMR's site yet. Well, let us know what you think. Says it produces a 6 hp increase.

I've been trying to do a little research... found this blurb from another manufacturer's tb spacer

[The POWERAID TBS concept was developed to enhance mid-range power, torque and fuel efficiency. The unique dyno-proven "Helix Bore" of the POWERAID TBS causes a spinning action of the incoming air-charge as it passes through the throttle body. This extremely beneficial air-charge carries all the way into the combustion chamber, producing a super-atomized mixture, which produces tremendous gains in mid-range power and overall efficiency. This is the key element to the horsepower success behind each POWERAID TBS.]

I just don't see how they do much of anything except extend the intake tube.
From the GT picture, this one does not even have the helical bore that supposedly twists the air. How would just extending the air intake add 6 HP? This mod is beginning to sound VERY suspect...

Yea, but keep in mind for 1-3HP, would you spend $60? I would! I've spent more on my exhaust and still don't know if I got real gain out of it, till I go true duals and dyno it. But for the cost, its worth trying it out.

I'm very skeptical... sounds like a Turbonator or something.

But.... Rygen is right... it's only $60. This is one mod I can certainly wait on!

Wow, I need to start selling "fuel line polarity enhancers that add up to 5HP" for "only" $50.

Translated, this equates to selling $2 magnets for $50

When you claim "adds up to x HP" what have you really said?? In my book, it's not much of a promise! hehe

Yeah, that is pretty much the consensus. Some people swear by them but I can find no hard proof or even good science to back up their use on fuel injected cars.
