I kinda figured these $5.00 things were BS, but what about those "fan blade" things that go into the intake tube? Do they work at all? Do they work only at highway speed? Seems they might actually impeede airflow, thus LOWERING power?

those "fan blade" things do impede airflow. it's the right idea, but placed in the wrong location.

actual dyno test, three users actually LOST 1 HP with those.

Thanks for the info, wasn't sure about that. Do they do anything to mileage? One horsepower isn't anything an average user would notice.

NO! NOTHING THEY ARE WORTHLESS!! Here's a hint, if it offers more than 5hp for less than $100 its garbage and not worth posting about.

BlackJack · 10-10-2006, 09:54 AM

and if it offers less than 5hp for more than $100, then definitely buy it.....hahahah

So pretty much the best bolt on mods for a car thats an everday driver are.
*Cold Air Intake
*Exhaust

and a DHP PowrTuner or if you only have $100 then just get the PCM.

Not bad, a 10 cent, Radio Shack, 330k resistor for $4.99. O an the shipping isn't bad either. $2.99 for something that can fit in an envelope with a 39 cent stamp.

IT'S THE DEAL OF THE YEAR!! (for the seller)
