Oh yea, another scam. "As seen on TV".... yea right.

(Geico266 silently sneaks out to the garage and removes the vortex generators and adds they to the pile of other worthless junk.)

Sure am glad I didn't buy any of that crap!

I think we may have been alittle hard on Chuck as he has been around for a while. I thought at first he was just advertizing this thing. Chuck, you know people bring stuff like this up they are kinda fair game. No harm intended, just alittle flame throwin to help others looking at this stuff.

Save your money Chuck. The spin won't make it through the intake heaters, much less separate into 6 little vortex's and spin out past the intake valves.
The Vortec head built by Chevy and Oldsmobile do spin the air because of a spiral ramp in the valve pocket just under the intake valve. I was working on a 307 Olds head and just to test it, I opened the intake valve 1/4" and shot a squirt of WD40 directly into the center of the intake port and you could see the circular motion of the air/WD40 coming out past the intake valve...and we all know about the super fuel milage of the Olds 307 and the Chevy 4.3 V6..

Everybody laughs and pokes fun at this "thing". but guess what??? some people will buy anything...there are enough somebodies in 300+ million that this guy will probably make enough in a month to buy a couple 06 DCTD dually and mabe a Mega and pay cash for them...plus he could care less about the price at the pump

sad but true.

guess we aren't as bold as we think we are.

Hey Chuck

Chuck,
I for one did not make the post to poke fun at you or your question. You did exactly what this site is made for; Asking questions and getting answers. I thank you for asking the question as I too was interested in this product.

John
