I'm sure the added pressure (if you watch their diagram) is horrible for the stock internals of the car.

An accelerometer is a device used to measure acceleration.

Relative torque is a difference in two torque measurements.

What they are saying about how the plug works does in fact make sense, especially when they say it does create a more full fuel burn. However, I doubt the gains seen are actual, except for fuel economy, considering using an accelerometer to measure something with so many variables like a 0-60 time is not an exact science.

They also 'invented' a testing method, and I dont trust anything that is not done by an independant 3rd party.


Being a car guy, and a man of science(somewhat), I got to thinking... What uses an accelerometer to measure things like 0-60, and torque? A Gtech/Pro. I'd bet money on them using that to get their data. Which to me, totally nullifies any data collected, as those things are hit or miss at best, and rarely consistent.
