For what its worth...

I am currently testing Singh's modification on various performance vehicles
with small block Chevy engines. The vehicles vary from mild to wild, results
have all been favorable. I have been modifying Chevy engines for more than
25 years; I have never before seen a single modification have such a impact
on engine performance. The change is obvious when the engine is first
started. The most noticeable difference is the idle quality. Gone are cold
natured starts, radical race engines with this modification idle at 600 RPM
cold. It soon becomes obvious that the engine burns much cleaner and changes
in the tune up are more responsive. More to follow.

---- automotivebreath - 06:16pm May 9, 2005 EST (#8 of 8) I don't have enough information to be able to post percentages for fuel consumption reductions but I can say that the reductions are "significant". The improvements are many; clean burning plugs, increased torque and horsepower. Cooler running engines, cleaner oil, and the list goes on. Engines with this modification are less prone to detonation. This may sound too good to be true, I admit it's difficult to believe, when a modified engine is started for the first time the change is obvious. I have different engines being assembled at this time; I will be able to provide details of each, more to follow.
