Right next to the little metal tag on the inside of your pistons, that in very small writing says:

'If you can read this tag, your engine is f#@ked'

So true. But if you ask me, if you're dumb enough to actually buy something stupid, you deserve to be ripped off so that you learn a very good lesson :P
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

well, you been tempted to buy it didn't you?, also it look "good" and something that's DIY. easy to install and give you more hp*.
so people will want to buy such products!! :wink:

But when you think/know how and engine work etc, it will not give u much hp, but it "may" give you better trottle response!
This product will alter the vacuum in the manifold and result of that, it will alter the fuel pressure regulator too, and engine will run abit richer and "probably" will give you better trottle respone, due to factory setup is quite lean so car is realiable and better milage(less fuel being used).

the only way it can alter vacum is by making the car rev higher at idle
this will use more gas

that is logical, higher rev idle will not save fuel, i am not quite sure how this product works... it saids it will by pass the manifold butterfly close, just like when ur manifold butterfly is open as the engine just started from cold....
