In the 84th running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, racers equipped with a VortexValve, a performance-enhancing fuel-saver device, dominated the field. Wally and Paul Dallenbach took first and second place, respectively, in the Open Wheel Division. The brothers attribute a noticeable increase in power and torque, helping them come out of curves, to the VortexValve. And eight-time big-rig Truck Exhibition Division champion Mike Ryan made similar claims; he won again this year using a VortexValve for the first time. He set a new record, breaking his old record by 3 seconds.

But this technology isn't just for racers. The VortexValve is an airflow modification device designed to increase mileage and horsepower on the car or truck it's installed in, by modifying the air flow entering the intake valve and causing air to flow more effectively through the intake system, the engine manifold, and the pistons. This results in more complete combustion in the engine, which generates more horsepower using the same amount of fuel.

By allowing the engine to do the same work with more horsepower, the VortexValve increases fuel efficiency. Simply put, you don't have to press as hard on the accelerator, so you save more gas. Its stainless-steel Uni-frame construction is self-seating, only taking a few minutes to install, and comes in sizes to fit anything from a small gas-powered scooter to a Class 8 diesel engine.
