As i have said many times before ....... 1 word ........ GARBAGE!
Will not do anything for your bikes but make it slower . I am not talking from an outsider that has not tried them , I had one , and to prove the next person wrong , gave it to them and they hated it .......... so again , wanna waste money , buy it , wanna spend your money wisely , go with reeds , rocket key , and intake filter .
wanna take the next step , try a f/c crank and a head kit ......
or even something like hp clutch springs ........ so much to do , but am telling you all again , boost bottles are as handy as another ball , besides making a bigger buldge in your pants , you have no idea what it is doing for ya....LMAo.
The size of the motor has alot to do with it not working . As for a liquid bike , heard that blast boxes work , but not boost bottles!

I'll research boost bottles and blast boxes and do an article on them soon. I'll dispel the myths as best I can and get the real info out there.

could one be made the right size and work for a pocket bike? or is the engine just too small for that type of thing?

Of course one could be made the right size for your motor and required RPM range. The question should be could one be made easily.

I don't know how you'd make one other than having something machined or finding one that's too big and adding filler material.
