Default Zmax TRUCK U

I was watching Truck U today and they went to the Zmax "Lab" pretty intresting. My questions is has anyone used this stuff and does it work? OR is it just expensive snake oil. I have heard of it before but never believed the hype, lol I guess it took a show sponsored by Zmax and the owner of the Zmax Corp. To convince me I NEED THIS STUFF.

I HAD to ya' unnerstand? I did a google on ZMax about 3 months ago after seeing the ads on Saturday AM car shows (my wife calls them my "second boyhood cartoons") just to see... the FTC report was the first return back then.

I won't use it-but then I'm a bit A_R.

My professional opinion is that it works to about 90% of the effectiveness of blinker fluid at about 150% of the cost.

I would just go ahead and buy blinker fluid instead.

I have been meaning to ask, where can you find right hand blinker fluid? All I can find is left hand. Snake oil is good stuff....if your a snake...

Yep, you need it. If you haven’t already, pour some in today. It works.

Install a couple of these while you’re at it for smoother running, more power, and reduced fuel consumption:

Those running a single inlet tube should install two anyway to maximize their phenomenal results.

If you combine the Zmax with the Tornado and one of these:



You are good for at least 500+hp at the WHEELS, not any of this crank horsepower BS

I make 6,001whp with a combination of zmax, pixie dust and 16 electric superchargers. I also average 900mpg with my setup.

Sux to be you then, because the EPA is about to clamp down on the emissions created from the burning of pixie dust by forcing you to use a very restrictive particulate filter. You'll soon be choked down to about 817WHP because of it. Yeah, that pixie dust is pretty potent stuff, ain't it? Now, I know a guy in Mexico who has a cousin working in Costa Rica who makes a few trips to Columbia every year, and he can get a nice alternative to pixie dust. For a price. But you need a boat so you can meet him in a secluded cove on the back of Catalina island to take delivery. I hear it's some pretty good sh*t though, so you might want to look into it.

January unemployment rates are going to skyrocket once the pixies hear about this alternative to pixie dust.

Who wants to bet that a federal bailout program for pixies is in the works?

It's a little giddy for an idea, especially when the guy writes "powered by pure energy" (umm...), but his supercharger is the only electric supercharger on the market.
