Spiral max supercharger.. FITS ANY CAR

ok who wants to explain this to me, does it sound good or bad?

http://www.spiralmax.com/

appearently it fits any vehicle.

and it can gain you up to 35 hp and 32% better fuel economy.

and i cant udnerstnad by the pictures how it would mount.

ok since my car is a open element TBI, would this work on my car?

If it sounds too good to be true, guess what?
Aside from lightening your wallet, it won't do a thing.

"Typical range of improvement over baseline is:

0 to 35 increase in horsepower,

0 to 31.85% increase in fuel economy.
"

When a manufacturer is claiming 0 increase, I think you should move on.

Total bogus IMO

Just like the Tornadoe devices they sell that have been proven to be worthless.

The tail pipe tips with the little propellers are pretty interesting. Hey, even if they don't work- at least you will entertain the people driving behind you!

Everything they offer on that page is complete crap. They do not work and will possibly HURT power and economy because you have now created a restriction on the intake. Besides, you DO NOT want turbulance before the throttle body on a TPI anyways. That is the point for the airfoil.

Yeah, it does look exactly like the tornado. I don't think it'll do anything. I can't believe that someone actually made another tornado. I think if it were closer to the valves it MIGHT work, but even then I still have my doubts.

Yeah, completely stupid. The intake runners completely negate any effect it has...and their claims are ridiculous. Not to mention they're playing off the words everyone wants to hear-turbo, supercharge. "Supercharge any car." Ok, so your $100 piece of tin generates boost? Show me how.. I'd love to see. There are better 'wastes' of money. Like Splitfire spark plug wires....with TWO CONDUCTIVE PATHS!
