Well I guess this would take seeing to believing. Having seen it I believe. He built one for my '66 charger and I was getting 30s on the 318 I had in it. But I have a much heavy foot :P

 

If anybody is in the VERY north Central part of Kansas around the Mankato area and are interested in such a device please let me know and I will give you his number.

I havnt advertised this on here for two reasons.

1. 95_318SLT proved this one, people just dont believe that its possible and then would assume that I am full of garbage and it wouldnt really be worth mentioning.

2. Not a lot of people are in the Mankato area any more. The ones that know my grandpa and know of his invention have all already had one put on.

 

I really didn't mean to sound like I was attacking you. I sure hope it is true, cause someone should send the plans to the EPA with all their new emissions laws and stuff, maybe it would help change their minds about a V8 engine. I would definately be willing to at least try it out if I lived anywhere near where you are. My comments were based on the fact that most small 4 cyl cars don't even get that good, and there are a few V8 hybrids that don't even get close to 40 mpg.

 

Oh no! I didnt take it as attacking me at all. I just know that it would be really hard to believe.

Strange thing though, when he went in to get his patent and everything they told him that it wasnt very practical. I had to laugh cause its actually a very simple design and wouldnt take a mechnical engineer very long to figure out how to make it better probably.
