Fuse mod adds horsepower?
Has anyone experienced car fuse mod?
There is this product from Japan and claimed +3 to 5 horsepower just to change the fuse. It doesnt make much sense to me. What do you think? link: https://www.automesseweb.jp/2018/01/05/39356 oh its in Japanese lol |

Sold! How many fuses do our cars have? 30 or more, if I replace them all I will add around 100 HP.

Seems legit - it says magic on the box, and who would lie on the internet AND a box?!
Don't forget to include the magic tail light bulbs for more torque. |

Oh here is another must have mod for a certain member in Germany! Fits right in with the rest of his magic power gains.
There is a dyno graph so it must be true!

Selling special fuses as an upgrade with claimed improvements is a thing with high end home audio.
Basically people pay up to $100 for a .50c fuse with black and gold fancy packaging. The only difference is that electricity is in the direct signal path with audio so there "could" be an effect. Target Audio in London probably sells them

Also there is a random grab bag of German words - I hear nothing gives you more street cred in Japan. See Rauhwelt, Zweite Entwicklung, or, in thie case, Auto Messe Web! I shall move to Japan and call my tuning shop EINZELHEITEN KIES BETÄUBUNGSMITTEL. |

You only get the full HP gains if you use it with this:

Take all your fuses out for a better power to weight ratio.
