Free horsepower for $49.95?. I don't see where "free" fits into this sentence.


I've got a better deal, snake oil for $10 per bottle.......

Gotta give them points for at least having a good story. Better than the turbonator.

Hey, they sell the turbonator....and fuel magnets too!
Can you imagine how much faster your car would go with all 3.

I think those 5 ground wires are doing all the work. I can't imagine how many cars have bad grounds as their major problems.

And it will provide the same HP increase as an HEI conversion...

(sorry, that was waaaay too easy)

lol, a $1 toggle switch would give you more power than that. Just hook the switch up to the alternator and turn it off before a race. Just don't forget to turn it back on after the race.

I was going to ask if it will work with HEI or do you have to have points. Joe kind of beat me to it.

Probably works best with points because anything to help that weak setup should be mandatory.

"improves engine kink-over and bass sound"

Huh
do tell.

I would love to see the data from that testing. Isn't an improvement in sound rather subjective?

Looks like a capacitor bank to me.
Very impressive package.

How do I tell if the "kink-over" on my '85 is OK or not?

And you can double it's effectiveness if you change your muffler oil!

Dont forget to re-torque your muffler bearings, check your directional fluid level and your matter anti-matter space kabobulator settings....

Improves Kink-over and Bass sound.... I'm thinking about it !! Wonder if that's instant seat of the pants throttle without muffle. Need snake oil for sure if it works.

Damnit ... I just remembered I'm still driving about with winter air in my tires. Stupid stupid stupid. No wonder my mileage is lousy.

I wonder if I can hook this up to the flux capacitor and maybe activate it sooner than 88mph.

Yeah, you don't wanna do that. If you trigger it below 88, you get trapped in the warp field instead of surfing ahead on it's crest. Remember the bad guys at the end of the second Superman (original film series) movie? Same sort of thing.

It's easier to turn the chrome part-throttle dispenser a quarter turn to enable one-wheel drive - it doubles mileage.

I looked into it a little futher. To make it work correctly you need fresh blinker fluid, an "O" pipe, and cross drilled brake lines

All those blue wires sure would look cool on my 455. Do you think it glows a blue light too?And I didn't even imagine fixing my engine kink-over for under $50. Imagine the power of an un-kinked 455!

Reminds me when I was a kid into monsters. Comic book ad - Free life size Frankenstein. Send 2 $ for postage etc. I got a 3' x6' sheet of plastic with Frankenstein painted on it.
Been out of surgery ( hip replacement) for about 24 hrs now, all is well and the pain is pretty much gone. Even walked about 20 steps with a walker yesterday......

Given the friction that all those idler pulleys on the March system must add, I'm guessing that this device is actually BETTER for performance than a March (psuedo)serpentine system.
