Saw a thread about them a while ago and they turned out to be a flop. Search a bit and see exactly what it said.

Magnus has done some additional R&D since that thread, and the part does just what it's supposed to. The same concept has been well proven in other forms of drag racing, too.

Remember, the referenced thread was in the middle of the Buschur bashing of Indy Evo and everything he was involved in. Take it with a grain of salt...

Curious if anyone has picked this up and used it. I see a couple cars that competed in the Q16 last year at the Shootout have grabbed them but not tested yet.

Flow control valves etc simply do not work. Many have tried all the guys running them last year did nothing but have problems. There is a reason they do not work on a diaphragm style clutch. Take it from me and many others don’t waste your time or money.
