"instant gain up to 45HP without costing you any more fuel"

that right there should slap you in the face. "up to 45" includes 0-45 HP, so they cover their asses on false advertising. without costing you any more fuel means if it worked the way it's falsely portrayed to do it would add more air without adding more fuel, thus running lean, bad.

seriously, considering an electric fan to put in your intake has to be at the top of the moron list

^ lol I agree! If it's totally worth it, why would any one ever buy the $1400 GM Supercharger Kit from GM!??? Man, everyone should probably get at least two of these, you know, one for the car, one for the office....lol

blake you have two options
1. on the side of your there is a tab that reads newbies- click, repost
2.realize you have no idea what the hell you're doing, do some research, start out with minor bolt ons and familirize yourself with with your
car and your ability to mod it. from your two posts that you,ve made i can tell you have little or no experiace with performance upgrades.
and the last thing you should do right now is try to boost your car. 1 wrong calculation and your engine is toast. hell ive been modding my car for three years
and working on race cars and hot rods for as long as i can remember and im asking these guys for every little ounce of info i can get. start out small. youll be glad you did.

He thinks he drives a Chrysler Cavalier... wants to (of course he erased his profile after everyone just annihilated him with quoting it)
