i was pretty sure that it wouldnt help i just figured i'd ask cause i have seen stranger things. fuel economy wasnt really what i wanted to know hp was I WILL NEWER OWN A RICE BURNER i got a crotch rocket for that. i figured that even if it gave 3 or 4 hp that would be worth it considering that theyre only $50 or like moondoggy said cheaper on e-bay. if you were buying in for fuel even if it gave you 3mpg more it would still take going trough 110 gallons of gas to save $50(figured on a car that gets 20 mpg).

Why would the be shut down? People who don't ask see another cheap product claiming to add horsepower. I bet the guy that invented that is having the time of his life in a big house. Why didn't I invented that!>!?!?!
