Thompson Performance 'Powerblast Plates'

[TURNA]

Anyone try these?


Gimmick or legit?

In theory it should work

But theory and real world are 2 completely different things.

anything with more than 30 second hype before they get to the product is a sham...IMHO

I like the idea but doubt the concept improves power under the curve much since it is only fueling during initial WOT.

I have a "BITCHIN" truck and I guess based on that video all my cars have electronics that are failure prone....LOL

If your carb is tuned properly - I mean with wide band - how can it be better??

There was something on CARFIX a few months ago (on the sponsored content part of the show) and I couldn't find any additional info then erased my DVR so I forgot the name of the company.

I would be willing to try this to get rid of he stumble when letting out the clutch on a hill.

It will either stumble or light the tires.

Ever experience the difference in fuel injector spray patterns (fine vs. tight)? It makes a huge difference if the fuel is able to better atomize before it hits the cylinder wall. Emulsifying the air/fuel mixture is everything.

I ordered a pair of these for my 850 DP. I will try to make a before/after video of the off idle bog to see if these help.

I'm trying to launch a manual car on a Christmas tree on a hill while starting a rally computer and a stopwatch and the motion of the car leaving at the correct time starts a GPS that is a backup stopwatch, so I get one shot at it and I've run out of limbs. Having the car not bog at the exact moment all of my limbs are in use is totally worth $80 to me.

Not available for the Quadrajet - it would seem there is no demand for improving the Qjet?

Quadradjets and thermoquads don't work off the concept of "here, have too much fuel, deal with it" They have small primaries and secondaries that open based on need (airflow), not necessarily throttle position.

I use a vortex generator on my quadrajet and I wear an aluminum foil hat
