The journal I was reading was talking about how he got some 4cyl econobox to idle smoothly at like 150rpms and he could keep it in basically 1 gear and drive it around. They were saying the plugs came out like they had been in an extremely clean/hot burning motor. But they also said that the fuel over there is so poor it is likely that the gains seen there would not be nearly as extreme here and that the unforseen effects of whatever it is he is doing would be greater than the gains.

From what I remember he was very specific that the size/spacing of the hashes were different for each motor and he hand-did each motor. He did seem somewhat brilliant but it was clear that he had no research or anything to back up his claims, just a bunch of happy customers and a willingness to try it out under much heavier scientific scrutiny.

I need to dig around in the journals I have access to through the UF lib and see if I can find anything more recent.
