i'm thinking the 710 cap or the cross drilled brake lines top my list.

I like this quote:
"In addition to this, the NPS process uses conventional looking parts which give the false perception that the parts work the same way or produce the same result in a 4-stroke engine with conventional operating principles. This presents a greater challenge to comprehend the NPS process and the unique combination of parts and specs that produce it."

The theory behind this is sound, get the exhaust out fast, draw the fresh charge in and close the valves quickly. Many NA racing engines are over 100% VE, but operate in a narrow power band for the ram and scavaging effects to work at max efficiency with the cam.

Man, with one of those and a turbonator, http://www.turbonator.com/, I bet you could get some real power out of your engine.

If someone ever runs across a youtube video of the President of either turbonator or impulseengine taking a violent kick to the groin, please post it up here for us all to enjoy.

I think the people that buy them are the ones who deserve said kick. :drive:

My favorite: "To produce the same acceleration, low to midrange torque and durability as the Negative Supercharging Kit, it requires using a twin turbocharger system, intercooler and a number of heavy duty engine and transmission parts which cost 3 times more than the Negative Supercharging Kit. Also, a twin turbocharger system reduces fuel economy whereas the Negative Supercharging Kit improves fuel economy."

So, this kit is better than twin turbos, really. Gonna hafta order me tree o' dem.

What will they think of next?

Some good reading there. The marketing for this right now is what is going to be interesting. What they are doing is the same thing they did in the early 80's when they discovered what anti reversion headers could do. Basically you create an engine with check valve type flow that will decrease the losses from the reverse flow of air therefore keeping the pulse stonger. It really does work on lower effeiciency motors the most.

I like how they warn you that you better have the whole kit or you will ruin your motor:secret: Running as lean as they want you to run and as hot as it is going to be on your heads no wonder they have to make sure you change your cooling.

It will be interesting to see if they come up with before and after dyno test in an article in a car magazine build ?

Good concept but if you want to compare it to real boost I want to see the vacuum/boost gauge move to the boost side and stay.

The air cleaner does look really futuristic and ready for takeoff.
