It's hard to imagine any "vehicle performance" part ending with "nator" will add any type of noticable HP gains...you want bang for the buck, try a DETOnator....

Consider this:
Even if it DOES 'vortex' the air in your intake tubing, the air still has to travel through the upper intake plenum... so whats the point? I say its nothing but nonsense.

I don't know what "houser power" is, but I'm sure I don't want it...
