Put them "Fire Injectors" on, Installed a Turbonator, Put a couple of cow
magnets next to the fuel line. Poured in that there Slick 50. Only problem now is my car is getting such good gas mileage, I have to stop every 50 miles and drain some gas outta the tank! ;>) "muffster" > wrote in message news:ZdGDe.143605$tt5.92614@edtnps90... > has anyone tried installing the turbonator on there mustang and if so > what were the results? > http://www.turbonator.com/index.html?id=adWordsMustang > > I have a 02 GT and was wondering if this add on might be worth while. > > thanks..

Summit.... JC Whitney I would have expected....

BUMMER! I got some friends in Aussie land who were hoping it might
just work for them.

True, swirl DOES promote better gas/air mixture - AND SOMETIMES cylinder fill Ford called it "HSC" for high swirl chamber in the 2.3 OHV's but that was at the opposite end. and you will note that they only show the demo at wide Open Throttle Because the long distance between the insert and the injectors/valves will negate any useful effect... esp at cruising where your throttle butterfly is almost closed anyway But if you believe in it enough and click your heels three times after you install it you will swear you get both better milage and more power. |

I think a better use for one of these would be to put it in the toilet and
increase the swirl effect. Maybe increase the "Gas mileage"? ;>) "muffster" > wrote in message news:ZdGDe.143605$tt5.92614@edtnps90... > has anyone tried installing the turbonator on there mustang and if so > what were the results? > http://www.turbonator.com/index.html?id=adWordsMustang > > I have a 02 GT and was wondering if this add on might be worth while. > > thanks..
