What does this scoop look like? Can we see it off the car instead of behind the grille? Is it that blue thing? Will it be offered in black? Confused...

Yeah right! I have pictures of my dashboard when driving to the keys, AVG was 34 MPG using the cruise control at 50MPH, normal mode and full auto. My regular AVG is 16 MPG on the HWY, if you can get me 34 MPG the way I drive, I'll but these scoops right away!

i doubt this does much since the side of the airbox is open when you are not at wot. highly doubt you would see 29mpg when you are on it

Interested. Obviously an increase in mpg 's is a good thing. Depending on the cost it might make sense but if it takes 5 years to pay it off doing daily driving I will pass. Subscribed and waiting on the details...

Juan I've see the way you drive and there are no scoops in the world that will get you to 34MPG! hahahaha

Ok guys this picture is just from the first set of test we have been running. This was a 10 mile run with the AC on at 60MPH on the high way with the cruise control on. The car is stock and really the car would go from 30.x to 29.xMPG. We also did test at 70MPH = 28.x MPG and at 80 MPH it was 27.x. Also we ran the test with the AC on and off and there is no MPG change.

For those that have seen 34MPG in 10 mile stretches of road on a stock car please post the pictures. If your going down hill it doesn't count... LMAO.... I have been driving my F for over a year and have never seen that kinda MPG. Toyota claims to 23 MPG highway. We are producing a new product and this is a change we noticed and shared. We also noticed that the car goes from 50 to 120 with a lot stronger pull. We have been looking for a dyno that has a fan that can product the kind of wind speeds needed to accurately measure power gains. As we get more info we will be posting updates. We are glad to see the interest for the product is there and appreciate the support of the community!

I'm glad your supporting the ISF platform, but if you want someone like myself to take your company seriously than please back up your claims with scientific non anecdotal evidence. A butt dyno and a factory MPG display is rather insignificant.

Why not develop a straight though ram style intake off of this design.... ?
