Default SpiralMax question

Has anyone tried that SpiralMax thing in there EFI Mustang? They advertise it in all of the magazines and I seen it on ESPN on Sunday morning NHRA program. They claim anywhere from a 0-35H.P and 31% increase in gas mileage. I guess if you twist the in coming air it would kinda be like a supercharger except not the amount of thrust into the throttle body.

You wouldn't think that a reputable mag like mucsle mustang and fast ford or 5.0 Mustang would talk it up though.

Good point I guess, but no one with personal experience or know someone? I've talked to some people that have put it in the everyday cars and they said it made a big difference. I may be the first to try it. What the hell it's only $60.00. I'll keep you all posted.

Later

Only $60!!! It probably cost $.37 to make! What big difference did they say it made anyhow?

I guess you all have a point put the 60.00 twards my supercharger. Looking at my mods what else do I need before the supercharger?

spend about $500-$800 and get a nice custom torque coverter with around a 3,000 stall.

I'd tell you how T.C. works, but it might take a while. Anyone have a good, quick explanation.

As far as converters go, Dynamic and Art Carr are nice choices.
