No mention of the fuzes being cry-treated, or fine-nines silver. No good, otherwise. The cryo treatment shrinks the electrons, packing more into the various systems involved with producing power, and the silver makes the electrons more slippery.

I ate it on a bagel, (yumm bagels...

) then rolled the wrapper into a "fuse".

WAIT, i bought all those rare earth magnets for nothing?! Holy polarity, cargirl. He said shamelessly trying to show off his car.
LOL

I would rather buy a 200 dollar ground kit.

Man after attempting to read the article translated, they really are selling some snake oil, even managed to get some tuning companies involved, one driver even said, "it made his car lighter"

Also after some more digging:

These people seem to have "reviewed it" the starter kit is almost $214 and the higher kits is $577 converted from yen. One person said it tricks the ecu to change a value without any proof whatsoever too....

As an "audiophile", I enjoy trying various tweaks, no matter how odd. Power and cables do make a difference to very small signals, not sure how it works in something like a car.

Seems like a business oppotunity. Five-nines cryoed silver wiring harness, starting at 30K.

There is a dyno graph so it must be true!

Lol. Too bad Tcoat is not in the forum anymore.

Yes. It looks like. He has to post the last 2 months. He logged on one month ago, but he didn't post anything and gone again.

A serious note on changing to “designer” fuses:

Their electrical characteristics could differ from the ones spec’d by the engineers and not offer the protection the fuse is expected to provide. Ie- inrush current etc.

My Pass Labs audio equipment manual explicitly states the same. They will not provide warranty service on equipment with designer fuses.
