hah, that is ridiculous. people sell those things on ebay all the time. i am sure there is some ricer somewhere convinced that he picked up 500hp from it.
all that most of the kits that i have seen actually are is bilge blowers for boats. most of the time the cfm of teh fan is less than that of the stock tb of teh cars they claim it will help.

later

lol.

there is only 1 reason they make any power at all, they screw with the maf readings... cause the vehicel to run leaner - more power

LOL @ ERAM

i love the dyno claim from 88 to 92 hp on a civic... thats alomost a "5%" increase... dipshits.

Did anyone notice that they use plastic fan blades? Imagine if they should break and the resulting devestation on the engine. I would rather spend the 500.00 on a few crack ****** and a video camera. And that's not something I would like either...

It would seem like it would some slight hp gains, but not worth the money...
