It's a fun idea but I'm sure you get what you pay for.

Looks like part of my pool filter. If you could delete the limiter, I'll bet you could get her up to ohhhhhhh...250 mph with that bad boy.

Lets see how that works with the 5.6 liter V8 they advertise this contraption will work on . . . . . a 5.6 liter V8 is 341.6 cubic inches, times a 6000 RPM redline is 2049600 cubic inches of air per minute. Divide that by the 2 rotations of the crank in a four stroke engine, and again by 1728 to change cubic inches to cubic feet, and . . . . . . uh . . . . . . . it sounds like a 560 ingests a little OVER 593 cubic feet per minute at redline. Hmmm . . . . . . and their device pumps out a maximum of 500 CFM . . . . . . . I'm no rocket scientist but does this sound like an intake impediment to anyone else?

Oh yeah . . . . that's right . . . . . the company that makes it is called "SUPERNATURAL PERFORMANCE".

According to Webster's "Supernatural" is defined as existing or occurring outside the normal experience or knowledge of man; not explainable by the known forces or laws of nature;

I get it now. . . . .
