It should give about 3-5 lbs boost IF , repeat IF it works as advertised.
Interested if anyone else has tried .
Thanks
I looked at them and it says "1.0 to 2.2 liters". Since a stock 239 is 3.9 liters, that's about half what you would need. Plus, I would have to believe it takes more "push" to force-feed a liter of flathead than a liter of an overhead. I have a little experience with this, helping a friend who was trying to supercharge his golf kart with a high end battery-powered leaf blower.

Hell, I'd still try it though; the price is right. Let us know how it turns out
