Do a search on this. It's got like 10 pages of discussion, but I think everybody agrees that its B/S

spiralmax and supercharger are not allowed in the same thread, haha... seriously.

Short answer: It's crap, stay away from it.

Sounds similar to "Turbonator", "Tornado", and a "throttle body spacer".

Throttle body spacer actually do work but just not as well as bore body throttle.

I actually think it will hurt you power wise... it's just an electric fan, period. It will draw power in order to use it and it creates an obstruction in your intake. It does however "spiral" your air flow which is proven to creat soem gains... but if that thing really did put out the numbers it says it does then dont you think it would be on every stock car from the factory. Also, I doubt people would be spending thousands of dollars on turbo kits if all they really needed was a freakin $20 electric fan.

What about getting a turbine from a 747 and mounting it on your roof, then run that into your intake? Might add another 100,000 HP or so.
