Thanks Greg, I am going to look further into this possibility for my other 3.0 rebuild!

Doesn't Mercedes and Dodge use something like the 'Tornado'? I know its factory developed and all, but isn't the vortex concept the same? I think they call them tumble flaps or something. I think they retract or something at high RPM...but don't remember.

Low RPMs good...high RPMs bad?

Am I completely wrong here?

I think the one I saw referenced today on the Grassroots Motorsport website is the best yet: http://www.fuelchief.com/

Got quite a laugh out of that. Wonder how many people will buy them?

Omg, that is stupidity on a new level.

Ain't America great?

Truth in advertising is a concept completely unheard of.

Which is fine; it's important to cater to the crowd of which '1 is born every minute'. This helps maintain and increase the wealth divide.

Without seeing the devices in Mercedes and Dodge motors I can't say for sure, but they are probably there to reduce noise.

Alright, looks a bit different than what I though. It is an actual flap that can recess into the manifold under high load. Its not a tornado design at all...but here is a link. It's really quite interesting.

Seems simple enough.

"Results may vary based on age and type of vehicle and type of fuel tank (metal or plastic/fiberglass). "

'The presence of radiance is the sun.'

I bought four after reading the above!

AHHHHH hAAAAAA hAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Mericet i laughed so hard i broke my computer desk chair!

nice find that one

But can it be topped, anything even more stupid out there??????

Ahhhhhhh hhhaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaa..........

wait wait i like this bit........

"How the fuel chip utilizes the energy derived from photons.

The fuel chip is placed into an “accelerator” which charges it with photons. Photons are infinite and continue to provide energy without any additional exposure to the “accelerator”.

They are then placed into the energy elevation chamber to further elevate and energize the fuel chip.

When the device is located at the bottom of the fuel tank the radiance emanating from the chip elevates the frequency of the sub atomic-particles in the fuel and hence results in a more complete fuel burn"

AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAHHH

The Benz Variable intake manifold with length control flaps and tumble flaps in the intake ducts are very interesting. The variable length inlet mainfold makes sence but those tumbler flaps improving economy and "smoothness" don't to me, but it obviously works

Just cut up your HT leads up! put this in and get up to 20% more power/economy.........sounds like a play on CDI ignition

not as good as Mericets "back to the future" flux capasitor stickers on the fuel tank

but just one more of too many crapy c#!ns
