I'm not positive because I've never heard of that brand, but i can say with more than 99% certainty that it's a $70 paperweight. Again, I'm not positive but I'm willing to wager lots of paperweight replies. Someone else can tell you why because I am in no way an expert.
But I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Talking I have a better idea to keep my fuel tank full

Use a garden hose and fill 'er with clean water, it's a lot cheaper than premium fuel

The only thing that is true on that site is the "Cash Generators" along the side.
Takeing fools money.
I have a tree in the back yard that grows $30 bills (grafted with $10 and $20 bills when young). It's for sale too.

Dang! The rare 460 '00 F-150 does exist!!!

2000 F150 8 7.5

Couple other good ones....

2001 F150 8 5.0
1999 F150 8 7.5 2

Hey that one takes two!

1987 F150 8 4.9

Nice, an inline 8...

And the rare option of a SBC in '78

If it looks like a paperweight and smells like a paperweight and sits there like a paperweight.... You figure out the rest.

Looks like a Terdonator with the middle cut out of it. Buy like 50 of them, line your intake with them, and your exhaust. You'll gain like 30+ hp and 53 mpg.
