There isn't a big snake oil police online for automotive the way it is in audio. People pay for things they BELIEVE are an improvement. By all means they must try to substantiate the claims if trying to make money selling the product.

No I think it's horse shit. But I heard electrical mod gains.

LOL So next time somebody tells you that they gained HP through a fuse ask them to explain exactly what they think the science behind that is. Falls right into the same class as the magnets that people put on their fuel lines to "break up the fuel molecules so that it burns better".

Great, now I have to take my magnets off before the kickoff so you guys won't make fun of me.

Then how am I getting 128 mpg?

Unsubstantiated anecdotal evidence from anonymous sources? That changes everything, count me in!

I have tried all of the "replacements" above, and surprisingly the cream cheese wrapper gave me the largest HP increase.
