LCEngineering Pro Spiral Adapter???

has anyone used one of these? reminds me of that tornado thing, herd its a crock of %$#@, just curious if this is worth it.

and with the increased hight, a really thin air cleaner would have be used?

the tornado swirls the air entering the throttle body, that swirls the fuel/air mix, bvig difference, I think it may boost power, just my opinion.

And I would think the weber air cleaner (square one) would work, its kind of thin.

I have been curious about this as well. By swirling AFTER the fuel/air are mixed it should actually do something useful. This seems like it might be a reasonable to the awful 2-piece adaptors I am currently using that need new gaskets every 3-4mo.

IMHO its a "longer runner" that adds the "power" - not the "swirl"...

Note also its for a "dual carb" setup - not exactly a stock or smog configuration....
