I find the claims of 120% more HP and tq. with a gain of 6mpg. a little crazy. I just do not see the gains, am I wrong? for $1389, that seems to be a good deal. But I just do not see it. MAYBE with a limp ported head and a big cam, but then economy would suffer, heck at that price I think going with a turbo would be a better bang for the buck. Am I missing something with the Clifford? I think it looks great, would be great on a old 33 Willys or 35 Chevy pickup with a open engine compartment.


Just changing the intake/ carbs is not going to provide a 120% increase in power. Consider this, a 250 is factory rated at 155HP, a 120% increase would put it at 341HP. Thats some good snake oil right there.

Simply not true.

Thought so but I saw it on the internet so it must be true....LOL
