what do they do? asre they worth installing?

The bottle is on the intake at 18 inches of vacuum (just to grab a number). The throttle opens, vacuum drops when air rushes in thru the carb (thats commonly called throttle lag because theres a instant where airflow cant jump). The bottle is at 18 inches vacuum too. The incoming air tries to fill the intake system AND bottle.

So, hows that going to cause air/fuel to flow INTO the engine>? It isnt, but it might increase airflow thru the carb for a very short time and pick up more fuel to hide the flat spot. IF its got a flat spot, then somethings out of tune, id rather fix that than hang more parts on.

Another gimmick. Just waiting a few minutes for the weather or engien temps to change can make a percent or two difference in power.

In Toledo, id rather see you put the money in a GUN! Not LOL:eek:
