Maybe if added with an intake, it'll give you that 12WHP some on here seem to be claiming

How much extra horsepower does this thing give? Sounds like it can bump up my car to about 200 bhp easy.

"In some cases, during shifts, back-pressure is drawn through the device creating a "psssshhhhtttt" type sound (like a blow-off valve). "

Somebody said something recently made a hellofa lotta sense. How can these sellers possibly be getting good feedback, with no complaints? This crap obviously is not going to work, yet you read such positive feedback? I would sure like to understand how that can be happening. Its such a total fraud, and nothing but glowing reviews? What gives?

Good marketing on unsuspecting consumers. Unfortunately, there are those people who believe everything they read (like some on NICO - not mentioning any names, but a short-ram will not give you 12HP at the wheels in the real world) It's may just be a placebo effect and they "think" it's working because they were told it would.

You should get moderator status for actually having the guts to buy one AND then sharing about it here, knowing in advance that you're going to get flamed for it.
