Most of us here understand that most real improvements in performance
cost money and time. Usually bushels of each. The possibility of a
simple screw-in product can just generate some head-scratching. I'm
sure most of us have seen so many infomercials for some super-slippery
snake oil or some other gizmo that allows us to get ridiculous fuel
economy, but is more designed to efficiently separate folks from their
money. I'm absolutely sure it's nothing personal. We're just a cranky,
jaded, skeptical bunch of curmudgeons when it comes to performance
parts. Leave those things in there for a replacement cycle and report
back and compare to your previous set. I'd be seriously interested to
see what comes of it.
