"Your car will accelerate faster and have a higher top end speed."

you should not buy anything from anyone who says they can change top end speed with electrical components.

you are limited by mechanics alone. (ie gear ratio)

"Because the engine is creating more power, it will need more fuel; so the fuel economy on the car will increase 1 to 2 miles per gallon"

more fuel = better economy... yeah, so why is it my suburban needs LOTS of fuel and doesn't go very far on it? I ran across the ad today too.

Lean engines go POP, any questions?
