For the love of God DO NOT BUY ONE OR ANY AT ALL!!! I have seen dyno sheets and they REDUCE horsepower!!! Waste of money! Put the money towards a CAI!!!

that sounds better. I think the turbonators are what like $50? If you spend $150 you get a CAI and you get noticable increase in pep and a throatier sound under the hood under high throttle positions. I would definitely balance your higher flow intake with a higher flow exhaust, because you may get a bottleneck type effect. You pull the air in faster, gotta shove the exhaust out a lil better too to get the best result!


Peace

oh really... that sounds awesome!! Dude totally post sound clips of the dumps open/closed!!


My buddy has a 1972 Chevy Nova (DECKED OUT 350 V8) with removable dump plates. Old school with wing nut mounted covers, but they rock.

lol!! I love that Nova. The ground shakes when he's coming. It's got a 4 barrel holley, big a** cam, headers, performance everything, like 10.5: 1 compression... ran 13.5... with a 3.55... getting 4.11s


I totally need money. I want to mod my car, and am fully able to, but have no money! Stupid school, insurance, girlfriend... lol
