Redbeard,

In the OLD days, I remember a company that had a device that would help atomize the fuel (make the droplets smaller) before it got to the runners in the intake, thereby effectively increasing mileage.

It was just metal wire screening like a window has...


Ah, those marketers...

But only if the harmonics are destabilzed over a certain metahertz does that apply...




What?


I agree with YOU.

In theory, this would work. Smaller droplets mean more surface area for the reaction to act on. Also smaller droplets are lighter and more likely to follow the air flow around the bends and into the cylinders. The heavier one's would want to keep going straight and end up in a puddle on the bottom of the intake.

This is why LPG or propane is such an efficient fuel. It is already in a gaseous state and normal temps. Burns cleaner for these same reasons.

Unfortunately your CHROME VALVE COVERS are not compatible with my Super Chips program, so I am sticking to the CHROME GAS CAP.

Think about it, if a TB spacer really did improve ANY aspect of the engine performance, EVERY car would have one. A Manufacturer could add one for pennies. Racers around the world would not build an engine without one. You will get a better return using that money to play the Lotto, and I think that that is one of the worst uses for your money imaginable.
