I may be wrong, but I've never heard of any totally independent, accurately
test comparision, where they found any performance gain using them.
  To really get rid of the turbulence that they claim they do takes about a
10:1 ratio of mismatch to lenght correction.   Sooo, where the difference in
bores of .5" means the airfoil would need to be 3"s tall to really be
effective.  Even looking at the venturis in a carby are 5 to 7d, and I'd bet
with the radiius most of them have where the air splits makes them even
worse then the "shearing" the stock TB does.
I'd think IF IT was that important a mono blade would be the answer.  Like
the late vortecs with the huge (about 3" butterfly) would be the better
answer
