I was going to write a detailed diatribe about this apparently worthless gizmo, but, like Ken, I respect the listee who installed it. I am glad they felt some benefit. I remain highly skeptical. From a technical-writing perspective, the sure sign that this thing is bogus is the complete lack of accredited data on their site (dyno tests by an independent lab), or write-ups in trade magazines. They try to give it some 'credentials' by saying "AS ADVERTISED IN: ...", and by using big technical-sounding words... "...a combination vortex generator, velocity stack, and venturi, made of stainless steel, installed in the air path, that extends the resident time between gas and air, maximizing vaporization for better combustion...". Right. Caveat emptor. G. Matthew Bulley Director Bulley-Hewlett & Associates www.bulley-hewlett.com Cary, NC USA 888.468.4880 tollfree |
