Would this be positive or negative?

Hey everyone, I was looking through a Car and Driver magazine during school and in the back in the ads, I noticed a there was a product named 'Turbonator' (google it) and it claims that it improves HP and fuel economy (though not as much as like the real superchargers.... But, I'm curious as to what you all would think. I've seen some posts where some members think that just an intake in general hurts the performance of the Blazers and others think different.... Thanks guys for your opinions.

It looks like a tornado rip off. I have herd the work a lil, but the really only improvement you gain from what i herd is gas miliage. I have a cold air intake and thottle body spacer in my 97 ls 4 door, I was just going for better miliage, I noticed a slight diff in power but you can't expect to much from somthing small like that. The 4.3 stock has enough power to play around with. Ither way good luck if u get it let us know how it works

I sell bridges in Brooklyn, NY. I'll throw a Turbonator in with each bridge sold to the next 100 callers, 1-800-4Q2-Dummi.

It's no problem, I was just messing with you a little. A search wouldn't have done you much good unless you used the main search and searched all of AF. In the blazer forum you'd have had to search for tornado to get any decent results. And yeah, passing up on it would be a good idea.
