reducing friction
Hey guys,
Just wanting to get some input on what you guys think about this product i found online to reduce friction. Its Tungsten disulfide powder, the web page is lowerfriction.com.
I used it on a 12a project for a professor, but the engine was modified for an A/C unit so it wont see combustion, but the powder really seemed to work because before the coating we got a 13 degree increase in temperature and with the coating only 5 or 6 degrees. Would this be a good choice to use on the engine? (for combustion i mean)

I think I read an article a year or 2 ago about an oil additive that contained that or something like it. It was one of those fact or fiction articles. They tested it and it did in fact reduce friction and free up some power. I can't for the life of me find the article, or the product. I'll keep looking and report back if I find anything.

There's a thread on every car forum bashing this stuff as "snake oil," yet I haven't read a single post from anyone who's tried it. Not surprising at all. And the fact that Import Tuner is as factual as a supermarket tabloid doesn't help either.
Here's another more recent test on it: http://octanereport.com/tech/parts-r...-additive.html
Take what you will from it. The price tag would keep me from trying it, but maybe someone else on here will be willing to put it to the test.
