I intalled one 2 weeks ago & have not heard any whistle yet. I greased both gaskets. There is very little change in performance but preliminary figures show the mileage is or may be up. I'll let ya know in a while. I also have an Edelbrocck 75mm throttle body & Granetelli MAF ordered. *97 lariet 4x 3.55 LS auto K&N dropin-superchip-bosch +4s-poweraid*I'll input a real signature when I figure it out.*

Hey Red...., if you do mind me asking, where did you order the 75mm and how much was it? Was it in stock?

Hey Red, I ordered one from TPC about a month ago and was told it was in stock, ordered it 2nd day, waited a week and called, they said that it was on "indefinite BO" from edelbrock. Meanwhile they had already charged my credit card! Needless to say i cancelled the order and got my card charged back! Looks like I would still be waiting! PS, I would never deal with this outfit again, they would never have called me or told me that they charged my card without shipping the merchandise.

Cool

Was looking through this month's Truckin' magazine and seen an ad for Poweraid and their throttlebody spacers. The graph that was in the ad showed a 14 H.P. increase with the spacer in. They didn't say what vehicle, engine size or anything from where the data was taken from. They also had prices for certain makes and engine sizes. Too bad someone didn't know somebody that ran a dyno and also bought the spacer and did some testing on it get some actual specs.

Dean, kinda makes you wonder, eh? Their website doesn't show any dyno info either... so just chock it up to marketing fluff. What page was the ad? I've got the issue right here, but it's a big issue and I didn't see Evergreen listed in the ad index.

Thanks,
Duke

Exclamation

I'm still not sure what to believe about this product, but I would like to make one clarification. IzzyEddy stated

when in fact, on page 278, it does show the graph with small letters below - 1997 350 Vortec. So how do we believe this? Has anyone e-mailed them asking for proof?

Kelly, I've emailed them but never got a response. I think they're just lying.

Sorry, I was gone for a few days. Duke, the ad is on page 57 in the middle of the ZMotive ads. You start to wonder if these people are trying to get gustomers on theory and not true actual facts & figures. I bet they didn't think that a bunch of people like us would put them too the test and then can spread the word good or bad.

Have Fun & Keep on Truckin'
