      turbonator

      i found the turbonator and it made me raise an eyebrow. i remember people telling me about how the vortec head will make air spin to increase performance of combustion. or how a cowel induction hood will create a vacuum causing air to spin like a vortex which fed the carburetor air fast and also increased performance.

      AVEOSAM: i noticed you made a comment about the turbonator in a post to aveogyrl. and that was about the end of it ... so i know you'll have something to say lol. and ne body else i want some input on this...since i'm pretty sceptical that 40 bucks can add as many ponies as they claim. for those of you that don't know about it...

      turbonator

      edit: also i'm assuming it won't do ne thing since i just read up on the e-tec II head and apperantly it already creates the "swirl" from the air intake.

      Well I don't know much about the turbonator. I do know something about Turbo Encabulators: I wonder if I can swap my transmission out for one.
      Please do not power off, firmware update pending.....

      Hahahahah that video is hilarious!

      Probably doesn't matter now but .... the turbonator is a POS - don't buy it, most useless item ever produced.

      Well if you go from the Turbonator to an electric supercharger you may have that magical 2 Kw gain.
      Also this is so freaking funny
