Talking Eco owners 16hp and 17lbs. x ft. torque for $110

They dyno'd it, it must make power... Who's going to be first to let us know how it works?

designed using a serrated/helix design that creates turbulence in the air flow at the point just prior entry into the engine optimizing the combustion cycle. This turbulence helps the air/fuel charge burn completely providing increased horsepower, torque and improved throttle response.
So they are saying the turbulence will help the air and fuel mix better? Last time I checked we have Direct Injection on our ecoboost. I now have reason to believe that these guys are just making up numbers and fooling these dyno charts.

I dont trust those turbulance gadgets.

Nah, this is the one I want to try. 33 aditional HP, woooo, hoooo. The motor has to be a 2012, they say it will not work on a 2011. Not sure why. Little pricey at 439.00 but who cares the thing is sweet.

Slap on the Hearthrob Exhaust and were talking over 60 extra HP to the wheels, somewhere around 420 HP with just 2 mods. Add a tuner and push over 450 Hp to the wheels.

Sadly, gains from mods NEVER add up like that. You can't just add up advertised gains, and think that's what your putting down. Also, I've yet to hear of anyone being able to replicate Hearthrobs HP gains.

I had a guy tell me that his $100 Camaro would be worth $3100 if he put a $3000 paint job on it............kind of the same thing with the HP numbers....it won't add up at the end. Too bad!

Well I just ordered one I'll be the guinea pig for us! I'll report back to see if any noticeable gains are worth the 100 bucks!

You have one awesome butt dyno if you are able to notice 16 HP. Maybe on a 2000 lb vehicle. Hard to notice on 5500 lb. or more. But I hope it works good for you.

Yeah true! Haha probably won't be able to notice it too much but it's worth a shot, I've got a airraid cold air intake and 4" heartthrob exhaust already!
