More Horsepower ?

Has anyone tried that "turbonator" thing ? If so, does it really add horsepower to your car ?

If it what I think it is, it's just a metal spinning thing, that goes in the air hose to, supposed to get more airflow. I wouldn't waste my cash on it. Just get a edlebrock open element w/K&N filter, you'll be happier.

Re: More Horsepower ?

I have a few little mods I've already done to the camaro. It has a K&N air intake with a Flowmaster exhaust kit already installed, Edelbrock headers, 3.73 rear, Edelbrock 3-point sway bar for handling corners ( that bar really improved the handling on the car, wow ), computer chip, and a few other little things I've slowly saved up for but, I'd like to know if that "TURBONATOR" would do any difference. I really can't afford a supercharger. Bag91, I don't have a link. You got an awesome RS, bro. Xgrungepedalx, thanks for the advice. I'm kind of nervous about spending cash on the 'turbonator'. It sounds like something I can make at home for like $2.

The turbonator is just a get rich quick scheme. It doesn't do anything except make you think that you have somehow gained HP. Save up for some headers. Then you'll be REALLY happy!

Re: More Horsepower ?

The car already has headers, thanks Sam. I still want more power though. I was saving up for a supercharger but, just recently, I blew the head gaskets on the camaro. The car is in the shop and they're charging me about " a grand" to fix it. This really sucks since I'm not working right now and I don't know how the hell I'm going to afford it. My girlfriend's pissed off like crazy. She keeps telling me to sell the Camaro but, she just doesn't understand.
