spiralmax worth the money

[timjeep]

i'm wondering if anybody has tried this gizmo on there jeep or any other vehicle. any answers would be nice

well i've never actually heard of spiralmax... but i'm guessing its some sort of throttle body modificiation. i used to have a poweraid throttle body spacer on mine... which also was supposed to create a "vortex" of air to give better power, torque, gas mileage, etc. i noticed a little difference, but nothing huge. i wouldn't pay more than $40 or so for an upgrade such as that. you wanna make a real difference... put a new airtube on there with a K&N cone filter.

	Throttle body spacer A throttle body spacer is designed to improve the quality of the airflow, allowing air that is more condensed and, thus, more oxygen laden, to enter the combustion chamber. The result of this is a more efficient burn, which serves to release more energy from the fuel, making more horsepower available.

If it's a throttle body attachment, it is probably not as good as they'd like you to think...

I think I have seen the infomercial you are talking about. The one I saw was about this fan insert that goes in the air tube supply and "creates" more airflow to the engine. Read a writeup of it somewhere where the results were actually tested and it was minimal. Your call.

(Actual performance may vary, depending on type of car, driver, and actual driving conditions.)

You can not get them for making false claims when it fails to work for you, because they are claiming it's possible to see zero gains.

If you feel the urge to buy this, give me $30 and you'll still be $30 ahead
