I was browsing through Jeg's last night and found some intake gaskets called "Torque Plus" that have little mesh screens in them. They are supposed to atomize the fuel and create smaller droplets. Do they work? Anyone tryed them?

Sounds like something that would restrict air flow more than help it. I would not try something like that on an engine that was needed for much of anything should the mesh decide to atomise the fuel in the cylender while the engine was running. They don't use anything like that in the professional classes, and Im not about to be the first to use one on my engine.

 

That's actually the purpose of it. It atomizes the fuel more.

The only tests I've seen with it were many years ago in Car Craft and like magazines. The only thing they tested it on was BBC, and it did do some good.

I'd need actual proof that it does good though. Like putting it on my engine and doing a dyno run.

 

I think they're one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard...beaten out of course by the tornado.
