Default Ever hear of this Top Fuel company that makes Intake/Exhaust

I was looking around hopupracing for some tC stuff and I found that they have this new intake/exhaust part from Top Fuel. Their stuff COST hella and I dont know jack about them. If anyone knows anything about them, holla!

i wonder if this is the same Top Fuel/0-1000 company from japan that specialized in Hondas.
here's their mid-engine Del Sol from several years back.
they one of the first companies ever to make a turbo kit for b16/b18's

Well... I'd say automatic "NO".

With intake/exhaust paths, you do NOT want a spiraling tornado effect. Why? Well, this spiral is the most efficient form of fluid transfer whenever 2 fluids are moving in 2 directions... ( think of the coke bottles, air out of the bottom, water out of the top)

With a motor, we have air moving in one direction... in... nothing is coming out through the intake tract... therefore, a spiral isn't efficient at all... a straight, linear flow is what you want.

Also, you can't compress air without a compressor wheel. Those goofy boat electric motors that some morons stick on their intake tracts have been shown to produce about .01 lbs of boost, and those things move more air than some artificial swriling motion.

That is the ugliest del sol I have ever seen. They can stick with their hondas if they're going to turn their cars into abortions on wheels.
