This has been covered already. Search. Nobody believes that you will gain any hp. But hey, you can still buy one if it makes you happy.

They do not work. The whole premise is for a more complete burn. In a electronic fuel injected car there already is a complete burn due to the computer controlling the air/fuel mixture and compensating for changing atmospheric conditions. In a carb car it <U>may</U> make a difference as not all the fuel is burned during combustion because a carb is not able to compensate for changing atomoshperic conditions, it must be adjusted manully.

Yeah probably bunk. But there is never a COMPLETE burn if there were we'd have no smog and our cars would run perfectly . the best you can do is get some good spark going and hope your fuel atomization is up to par.
