no let him put it in then race him and let him win so he goes around telling people he has a turbo intake fan that help him beat a camaro. then all the ricers will have them and it will be hillarious when they go around telling people thats what they have done to their cars. this is when you race them all for money and win lots of cash

Let him buy it. He won't stop being an idiot until he buys it and realizes that he gained nothing from it.

i dont know why evryone laughs at these all the time. they work. i had 6 on my old 01grand prix and and i walked f bodies all day, but then i realized hey what if i started with an fbody and used my old 6 to make that faster?!


god, i really dont knnow why people buy these. are people really that dumb? oh well, let him buy it.


ive always thought about selling something like that and make some quick money. all you have to do is talk over there heads but id also show "proof". take a video of an LS1 walking a ricer, then show"quick and easy" installation of product then go fix a race between the "newly" modded car and that LS1. trick to that one, dub the from the old video of the LS1, but dont run 'em (obviously). boom! heavy pockets! but id feel terrible taking morons money, even if it is easy.
