Has anyone done it? Yes. When I worked at Ultimate Z, I had a customer call me and ask which spark plugs he should put in his NA.

So I asked how those were working for him and he actually said he noticed a huge power increase and better fuel economy. I then explained that, based on the known laws of physics, that is not possible, and explained why, to which he responded with something like "...well, I noticed a difference..." Obviously he didn't buy spark plugs from me. Too bad, lost the sale.

I was thinking placebo too. They cant work on the Z..and even if they did in say the intake tubes. Their spinngin air wouldnt do a thing once in reached the uppen plenum. It would just swirl air around aimlessly.
