Would love to see a before and after dyno on the 3.5 Ecoboost with this... My gut screams snake oil...

I would agree.

Equivalent to that old school contraption called the "Tornado" that one would place into the intake piping to speed up, or cyclone the air.

Ha. Oh man, the things that have been fabricated over the years.

Aye yai yai **smh**

Ahahahaha the tornado I remember all those commercials. I haven't heard of that product in years. Once I get the car a little more dialed in on the new turbos I'll buy one and test it. My car usually runs within a .02 on back to back passes.

Sweet Jesus.

Certainly that must be an updated version by now?

One of the "sharks" must be behind its' continued marketing ploys/investments.

Unreal.

Nice find SBS, seriously I love the marketing on it "Pays for itself" lol

My question is if those claims are true why would no manufacturer do said modification from the factory. Seems like a good way to up your power on your engines with little investment? That's why I will never get behind these sort of things. On naturally aspirated motors maybe, new age direct injection turbo charged engines? Not at all. Would like to see some incontestable proof.

well, the theory has some legs to it, that is why manufacturers have indeed implemented it, for quite some time now. One example is Ford's HSC (high swirl combustion) in the Tempo back in the 80's. It works. As for this particular device, it will at least chop up any pests clinging to the air box.

So will the product at the amazon link work with my '14 SHO? I had one on my 4.6 mustang and liked it. It may be a placebo thing but it worked for me. Amazon says the product linked up top won't work with my '14. Anyone have a link for one for mine?

If someone that has this can do a before and after dyno, I will open my wallet to buy it, if it works.

I'm going to buy one and go to the track. I think my car is consistent enough to show results. These are my slips from the other night on the 93 tune.

I bet it does work. I have the Airaid Econaide throttle body booster and AJP absolutely loves the way my alky control sprays...the booster has been there since day one of logs but how could it NOT be affecting the meth spray?

Have you been able to determine anything specific with the spacer as of yet?

shoNoff · September 07, 2018, 01:18:50 PM

I haven't even ordered one yet. My local track is closed this weekend for a divisional race. It is also closed next thurs-sun for a county fair. So it will be a couple weeks before I can run on a Friday night. Wednesday nights are a waste on my time as they do zero track prep. Im going to try to make a couple back to back runs with and without the spacer. I don't think it will take me more then 10 mins to swap it out at the track.

Just be careful with that O ring...especially since you just found out you didn't have it originally! LOL
