Boost bottles are to motorized bicycles like fuzzy dice are to your car.

*edit*: They may do something if you have a reed intake, but I still think they're mostly a decoration.

But if you sell them under the banner of "High Performance" those that buy them will swear they work.
Me? I'd rather have fuzzy dice.

Send me just three easy payments of $99.95 and I'll tell you the secret to keeping up with interstate traffic.
I promise. THOUSANDS of customers CAN'T be wrong....

In all seriousness... We are ALL interested in more from our less! :)

I would like to see someone pay for a set of bona fide dyno runs on an established and recognized machine, and post their official determination on the boost bottle for all of us to see.

..and THIS, will NOT do...

That's not a bad idea, actually... With a bit of head scratching and beard stroking, I'm pretty sure a bicycle trainer might be converted to do the job....

I like that Idea,
Would not be hard at all.
Accurate calibration would require a bit of thought, but for simple comparison testing,
A simple Generator/Alternator and variable electrical load should be easy?
A 100 Amp Alt can pull a good few HP out of a motor.

The biggest problem with a dyno is that we'd have to take the word of the person doing the testing when products were involved. That wouldn't be any more conclusive than a seller telling us how great his product is. A simple calibration change could make a boost bottle look like a charge of nitrous.

It would be handy for an engine tuner to test his own work when sales of a product isn't involved. Any other use and it's just more hype.
