Oh brother!

P.T. Barnum's legacy lives on.

Sounds like all this so called "miracle mod" does is make your A/F ratio run a bit richer. If you really want to see some gains, there's no substitute for a good dyno tune.

I have one I'll send you for Free. Don't expect much more than something that sits there and does nothing.

My auctions are compliant with eBay's rules and regulations.
I am the sole intellectual copyright owner of this material.
My auction titles clearly indicate the nature of the product.
I do NOT have more than 10 "identical" items listed simultaneously


Check his "other auctions" - all the same thing. Just different model car. A true carnival barker... How do idots like this sleep at night?

Shouldn't people like these be behind bars for misleading and looting people for money. Isn't that a crime? If not, then every other store out there can tell us one thing, and sell us something else...

Speaking of hood seals. After reading so many positive things about the seal and the horspower gains that have been claim, I decided to get one. I installed it yesterday. I wish I hadn't waited so long to buy this vital item.

I couldn't believe the difference.
