More likely it's a combination of exaggeration on his part combined with a placebo effect (if you put a fuel saving device on your car you drive with more awareness of how much fuel you are using).

It would be so easy to just put this on an engine on a dynamo and measure things to prove it worked, I wonder why that hasn't been done yet!



Probably invalidate it, plus you could be violating all kinds of emissions standards as well, depending on what the change did to the ignition computer and how it changed the way it reacts.
Oh how you make me laugh (not being malicious), but there is nothing but negativity, and a superiority complex here. At any rate... I wish you well.

How is it negative to say something doesn't work unless it's demonstrated that it does work?

What's negative is people who take advantage of others by selling them plans / parts for a kit that doesn't work.

If you find saying that people taking advantage of the gullibility of humans is wrong is a "superiority complex", then your idea of morality is very different than mine.

Or is conning someone out of their money ok to do by your standards?
