LOL you have to be kidding!! If there was a spiral like device you could just add to your intake that would add up too 35Hp, Honda would have already used it. IMO

well the wording says it adds "upto" 35 HP....so maybe they tested in some corvette or some exotic car....but in a civic i can guarantee that it wont add 35 HP

I saw an ad for it in Turbo magazine; they called it a supercharger, and said it will give you a 30% increase in HP. And that it is a universal fit for most cars.
Well , my friend got it for his 93 Accord- there was no way it added 30% increase in HP!!
It does help out a little, maybe 1-10 HP, but its not worth $70!!!![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG]
