Turbonator???

I have a 2003 F-150 SuperCab with 4.6L FX4. With high gas prices I am looking to get more horsepower and better fuel efficiency. I saw an add for Turbonator and have looked at other products. Has anyone had any success with these products. More HP is always a good thing as long as I do not loose out on MPG. Looking to spend $100. Is this possible? Thanks in advance

Take a look at the September Popular Mechanics. The have an article on a lot of these "fuel savers" and "performance enhancers". You won't bother looking at any of them any more.

#1-- all that stuff is snake oil.
#2-- more HP = More gas usage = less mpg
drive at a reasonalbe speed. dont stick your foot in the throttle, keep motor tuned up, and keep the truck stock. thats the best way to get good milage
