Fuse mod adds horsepower?

Well enough cream cheese opens me up as well so it makes sense.

I'm my tests, the Wrigley's gum wrapper barely beat the cream cheese, but it has to be Juicy Fruit.

There is a driving around San Francisco joke in there someplace.

I hate SF. I avoid going there at all cost.

I found that spent .22 cal brass shell casings lasted longer .....

Well I wanted something that at least had the possibility of melting if things went dreadfully wrong!

Did you use a live round before trying the spent casing? If you had, I bet you would have known when the fuse blew!

Quite simple. The bigger the fuse, the more electricity can run through the circuit. The engine makes power by running. The faster an engine runs, the more power it produces. The ECU controls how fast the engine runs. The ECU is fused ..... so, the bigger the fuse, the more current runs through the ECU, thus making the engine run faster, thus making more power.

Get it .......??

That makes sense! Since the size of the circuitry in the ECU would now be the bottle neck for the electrons to get stuck I am going to get a bigger ECU. If I use one of these I should be able to get 1,000HP

I suggest you start with the 3 deuce system, till you get used to the extra power ....

This may actually work briefly... and depending on the fuse you pulled. Like if you pulled the ECU fuse, the reset may just mess up your fuel trims enough that it will lean out your AFR to get more power before it relearns that is is inducing knock.

Life is about perception...if you want a faster lap time or to beat someone at the lights...forget it...but if it 'feels' faster...go for it, because that's all down to you. Placebo is good.

Ever noticed how, when you drive to work sometimes, that depending on your sleepiness, the car seems faster?
