Any Good??

Post by harperboy » Wed Feb 21, 2007 2:48 pm

I know you see a lot of cheap performance enhancing tac on the market so i'm not sure weather this one seems any good? I could get two and join the big boys and have a bi-turbo!

The crappy name is a put off tbh!

well i can understand what they're trying to say but the MAF has flow straighteners fitted so i'd guess any benefits would be lost by the time the air reached the MAF.

and yes, crap name

Hmmm... something all abit strange here. Can't remember all my fluid flow equations well enough to prove it, but pretty sure the increase in air velocity will actually decrease air flow-rate.

There will be some benefits in terms of flow into the combustion chamber, but these days most engines have very sophisticated design to achieve this anyway. They claim 20-35HP on an old Mustang - but then go on to say this isn't typical, probably for the reasons above.

I'd save your money...

Wasn't planning on getting one! Just curious to weather it was any good! Cheers Dave and Dave!
