I understand the example of spinning a two liter bottle and getting it to drain faster and more smoothly than just turning it upside down... so does the Vortex Valve (<--linked) really work? or is it only going to make your wallet lighter?

no it dont work, do a search on it in the forums you will find info on it

I think it it worked, GM and all the other car makers would be all over it.

They spend millions trying to eek out an extra tenth of a mpg...

It they could put in that part, which looks like it costs 12 cents, an get those results... I am sure they would do it.

It's great for cutting up veggies.

Next comment:

I have a supercharger.

Supercharger also gets more air into the engine... just like the vegetable chopper cliams to do (oops did say that?).

My supercharger does not increase my milage... because I wind up with my foot deep into the gas a lot more often, because its fun!

They are a huge sponsor of The Fuel Show <-- linked

So I hear the ads a lot and was wondering if this was better than the other snake oil products out there.

shipbldr 02-16-2006 09:08 PM

You know, it might work. I just haven't tried it.

I used to think synthetic motor oil claims were a myth... until I tried using synthetics... now I won't go back...

Damn, you're right! I could have done the same...wait a second, I think I'm padding right now.

shipbldr 02-16-2006 11:49 PM

I think I better Pad your Pad...


"PAD"

kacyk 02-17-2006 12:02 AM

Even "Throttle Body Spacers" from reputable companies like www.airraid.com do not work. Believe me, I've tried on my Yukon and Tundra. No difference except an annoying high pitched noise.

shipbldr 02-17-2006 12:04 AM

We can get a cool noise out of these things?

Wow... I feel faster already...

Whoooosh!

PAD

DarthKarl 02-17-2006 09:25 AM

And it's such a cool name: "Vortex Valve." It'd look great as an addition in my signature line.

Another pointless PAD

shipbldr 02-17-2006 12:31 PM

Maybe I could install Vortex Valves on all my tires?

Then I could add "Quad Vortex Valvces" to my sig line....

Wow... totally mall-poser cool....
