Question super charger

On the main page there is a add for a super charger, at turbonator.com. Has anyone tried it and does it really give you a 31% improvment in fuel economy and more power. 69.00 + shipping sounds like a steal if it works?

Yea, there was some discussion about this ad being here, but I don't think FTE really gets to chose some of the ads.

Yea I guess to good to be true, If it was as good as it says then alot more people with the fords would have bought them and used them. Spunds like the cyclone that came out about 5 years ago that were suppose to get better power and MPG. they fit like this in the air induction system. I did buyone for my 200 toyota and it gained maybe a mile.

Thanks

Good news I did the odometer back lite fix tonight and it works like a charm. ten dollars for the gun and solder and 1 hour of time walla bettter than a new dash any day.

Thanks for the advice, I am glad I asked before I jumped in with two feet. I have decided against it.

Have a nice weekend
