You waste your money and buy it. And then you find out you've been had. Placebo effect is relatively potent when applied to human beings but it won't add horsepower to your car..............

Caveat emptor.

Default enlighten me
okay... assume I'm an idiot. Why won't this work? Is it totally useless or just not as effective. I know, if it worked everyone would be using it... even O***s.

But, in principal, why not??

Bahahahahaha!!!!!! That is a engine room/compartment blower for a boat, I can buy them all day long for about $60. It would actually do NOTHING to help the performance if not take away from it. You would be better off running a hose to your mouth and blowing in it while driving
