Another fake piece of crap?
Anyone know?

Sounds exactly like that tornado fuel saver that's supposed to do the same thing.

You know, it does look like crap, but the fact that the fan is there and "pushing" the air into the engine faster does kind of intrique me. Because on one side the air is flowing faster, a lower pressure is created and it might draw more air in. Anyway, it does look like crap. High or low pressures aside, its just crap.

"In a completely stock 99' Dodge Neon sport, I gained ten horses and went from 34-37 wheel horsepower to 44-47 wheel horsepower (using a G-Tech Pro performance meter). I have also noted (when I drive responsibly) a gain in gas mileage. I also lost a full second off my Quarter-mile times; from 16.8 to 15.8 and probably could have done better with more time with the G-Tech."
True that only several teams of Budweiser Clydesdales are working the Dodge Neon? Or is it that G-tech thing?

I am a pessimistic optimistic. I think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy.

Yes. Crap.
Also, no fan will spin faster than the air pushing it, so it cannot possibly do anything but decrease air flow.
