Are products like the fan that sits inside your air intake absolute crap?

One day whilst i was searching amongst air intake systems one of those fan intakes came up, which was actually pretty well thought out. Spins at an apparent motorized 40,000 rpm and you intake piping connects to either side of it....i wonder if you would experiance gains from that?

??

Yeah mate. You'll get a big gain when that 40,000rpm fan explodes in your intake, destroying the internals of your engine. You know why, because when it does you'll realise why people pay $6000 plus to properly force induct their car. Plus your rebuilt engine I'd say that'll be a power increase... over nothing lol

Tell you what, Try it out and while your at it, get one of those ebay resistor things that leans your mixture out temporarily, just make sure you grab a video first. I along with a few others would probably like to see exactly how quickly these motors go KABOOM....

Ask a few of the previous buyers for feedback on how it has worked for them.

No thats a Hi-Clone. Rotates the air in the intake and apparently gets better fuel economy.
