SOTP is like a placebo, if I think it's of value, it is of value.

Lol...well. that is one way to stick your head in the sand! If that is all you're after, why not save some money? Sprinkle holy water on your engine or do a prayer before each drive. Should provide about the same benefits; both real and perceived.

Won't win you any races though...that is for sure.

Thanks for the advice, I will let you know how this works out.
Don't believe us

$188 could buy you a lot of MC-doubles.

"UP TO" is the operating phrase. Legally speaking, a bag of dog poop in the gas tank can be said to add UP TO 500HP.

It's easy to believe. Kid buys it and tells others how fast his car feels and others buy it. IF the kie ever realizes it, the return period is over. Company made the sale and the kid is too ashamed to tell others how silly he was.

You will realize 30HP if you get muffler bearings and synthetic blinker fluid.

Yes but only in the realm of your mind. Real world might disagree.

Many year ago when my 91 was relatively stock I bought a Jet stage 2 chip. I brought it to the track and ran multiple, back to back, runs rotating between the Jet chip and the stock chip. This was data gathered at the same track on the same day. The car ran .15 seconds quicker, on average, with the stock chip. I sold the Jet chip on Ebay the next day.

Why not return to Jegs or Summit if you bought from them?

I go by the rule that if it is easy, it probably won't work or it will cost more in the long run.

I think the reason everyone is upset, is because we hate to see anyone taken advantage of by a lying azz company that makes promises they can't keep......It's not really anything against you personally....

And we don't own stock in the company or we'd be able to tell him it's a great idea?
