Popular Mechanics did an article on these type of devices in September last year. Guess What????? Out of 6 devices tested, none of them worked and 1 of them set on fire under normal properly installed conditions. The genie is still in the bottle as far as adding 35 HP and 25% mileage increase for under $100 bucks.

Amen to that SandCobra... From my standpoint, if you are dumb enough to buy one of those things and think it might actually work like it says, you should be put in "Corvette Time-Out". Even when buying a new intake or throttle body or Mass Airflow Sensor, when they say "This item adds 25 RWHP!!" I would definately recommend taking that with a grain of salt. There is no telling how much horsepower it will add. It is all based on percentages and what you already have done to your car. They always test the BEST POSSIBLE conditions for the vehicle and then tell you that your car will get the same results but dont tell you that you need to be pushing at least 9,152,367 RWHP corrently to get the 25hp outof the product. And by that time, the 25HP wont make a darned bit of difference.

Yeh, I just checked again; definately don't have one of those installed. LOL

Yeh, sorry, my friend, don't mean to rain on yer parade here, but these devices are well known in communities to mostly just be a way for some company to take your money from you.

Owned a 5.0L Mustang Gt convertible prior to my first Vette[:@]

No going back now!!!!!!!!!!!

When I first heard Fix Or Repair Delay (FORD) Found On Roadside Dead (FORD) I thought it was just a joke...

It is all TRUE.

Vette's rule the road hands down[8D]
