Turbonator

Has anyone ever used one of these? Do they work? I have a '78 F150 with a 460 and Holley 650 dbl pumper and am thinking of throwing one of these on there? Just wonder if its worth the $50-$60?

I think they help, but are partially a scam. Not worth the 50 bucks IMO. The flow can only be so good, and the head and intake have more to do with airflow than a spiral thingy on top of the air cleaner.

Waste of money. You can't swirl air thru the carb. The truck might be faster though, since your wallet will be lighter

The weight of the guilt from buying a useless product will offset the lighter wallet if not more
