I guess that placebo effect must trick the dyno too when AEM and other companies dyno tested their products. Damn gullible dynos...

If it doesn't suck in air then how does it get in there? Air pumps "suck in air". It creates a low pressure area by drawing the piston down with the intake valve open. It sucks. The lower we make the delta P between the ambiant air aid that intake tract the less work the motor has to do to get that air. Hey I have a great idea. Let's push the air into the motor with a fan driven by the spent exhaust gases. Nah that would never work.

or... we could somehow rig a compressor of some type into crank, perhaps using a chain or belt, so your motor simply running would spin a turbine of some sort. but it sounds way too complicated to work. forcing more air into the motor, lol wow i must be remedial. and i agree, using spent exhaust to add power is the dumbest idea i have ever heard

Hmmmmm compressor.... sounds like a turbo, but if u had it spinning at the speed of the engine you would most likely run lean b/c too much air would be forced into the engine, and when you red line the car there wouldnt be much of in increase unless you could get enough fuel in there to run a good a/f...... but forcing the intake to suck in air when it doesnt need it will most likely hurt your engine rather than help it.....not much time to explain furture as i have class in about 10 min....
