J&S Ultra, Classic, Super Duper. Band aids for poor tuning.
I disagree on this one. There is no substitute for good tuning, but the J&S units are excellent tuning tools for people who don't own a dyno.

"Venom injectors - they just suck at what they do"

Hmmm... I give my custom 320cc Venom injectors some of the credit for my good luck, results and lack of engine damage. I'd also ditto sonny on the J&S.

Stuff that doesn't work:

- EBC Green brake pads
- Non stock fuel rails
- Fuel line magnets
- Anti-theft devices

I'm with Sonny on this one. Dyno tuning is great to obtain max hp/tq with the balanced a/f, timing. etc... However, max hp doesn't mean the engine will never knock. I think the J&S is a very useful device.

Might be right hehe. No traction?

My Gtech has been pretty darn accurate.

Your car might not be...you might be though.

Add to the list:

Matsonic Motherboards
Check valves using the wrong sized T's and blowing out 2 check valves while sitting in traffic on 441 during rush hour and having to get out of the car in the middle of the lane, plug them back in and take off like I'm cool (This actually hasn't happened yet, but if it ever does...)
Right Guard sport stick (The clear gell is good, but the stick doesn't agree with me)
Volcano 7 Cooling fans (At least not on my Athlon 1500 XP)

This is the older Gtech, first one made I think. Your right, my Yokohama all season tires dont hold up to a launch . If I launch at 4500 rpms which is when the turbo starts to spool, it will shoot to redline and I wont be going very fast. Then when I shift to second it spools at 4000rpms, but the Rpms dont drop right into boost so it bogs. I raced a C5 vette from a 40 punch to 120mph and was right at his rear bumper Who knows, maybe the vette's running a 15 too!

Im going to the track next weekend, so we will find out the truth
