Default helix tower power

What do you think of this? http://www.streetandperformanceelect....com/helix.htm They are available for trucks, but now they have them for imports. I have one in my car... just wondering if it's "all that." Anyone else have one or have any experience?

I'd try to find a race team that uses it first before I'd make a donation.

Wouldn't it be more effective if it was in the intake runners as opposed to the TB?

Sounds like another "Vornado" gimmick.
Might as well glue a slinky to the inside of your intake tube!

I don't know. I heard from this guy who told me his 2nd cousin's best friend's step father, put one on his 1980 Ford T-bird with 218,500 miles and it went from 18 mpg to 34 mpg and his 1/4 mile time went from 18.9 to 16.2

I wouldn't be so quick to judge
