    i know vortex, i was just looking around. not specifically for any product, just looking and it looked all funky like. oh and by the way, i know its kinda off topic, but i think i will go about installing a high stall torque converter instead of swapping out my auto. I think ill go from there. Probably a wet shot of nitrous first and if i can actually afford it, turbo....

    i'm not good at saying this but.... that is a piece of crap. i'm not saying you should but u might as well put a heavy duty fan to your intake pipe. but seriously dude, don't get that, you're better off gettin an intake and a cheap ebay exhaust.

    yea, its just a vapor extractor for a inboard boat, I sell them everyday at my dads boat dealership. And you will notice a differance, an engine lacking power, the cfm of the blower is actually less than what your intake pulls at WOT. So its actually a full restriciton wide open. But they are good for cooling intercoolers though, I riged one on my 90 thunderbird supercoupe that pulled air through the intercooler.

    jake ... honestly...

    STOP looking for "cheap solutions"

    they will do nothing but harm to your car and/or not produce the results you expect.

    I hate to say this but the famous phrase applies...

    true that. i found a company in california that will ship me a high stall torque converter for 250 or so. Its like a 500-800 rpm increase. Ill see how it turns out. I decided there is no way that i could afford trading my car in for anything better than what i have now, because i could not afford the payments. my car now is paid anyways, so i should just work with what i have for now. maybe in the future when i win the lottery or something... lol ill work from a better foundation!
