Super charger, is this any good?
Have a look at this. I can't imagine how can a fan spin at 65,000 rpm under only normal induction! But the feedback does not look too bad about the
product.

So something unpowered that impedes air flow in the intake will make your car go better?

Looks like the "hiclone" has been renamed to sucker some more unknowledgeable buyers in.
been around for years and have seen them and they show no gains on a dyno.....

The only way that I can see it helping would be to improve the atomisation of the fuel in the intake system and to increase the turbulence in the
induction system to improve combustion. Then again maybe not.

He he he, look at all them stoopid F1 people spending millions of dollars chasing 1 little horsepower when all they have to do is throw in one of

Maybe they have oval intakes so they dont fit.
