Powderhound,

Any updates on your other installs? You've helped a few friends out it sounds like. Have they shown improvement?

I've been looking into this as well, but the super legit ones seem to involve tapping into your O2 sensor and altering the signal. And also altering MAP and MAF signals. Theory being when your vehicles O2 sensor reads the more efficient burn, (i.e. less O2), it thinks the vehicle is running lean so it dumps more fuel in. Point being, it isn't as easy as some of the lesser kits out there make it sound.

My biggest hurdle so far is that I want to but can't find anyone online who has done this and been signficantly successful, besides those 'testimonials' from the websites trying to sell you these kits or plans.

No offense but your gains don't seem big enough for me to go out and buy/make one. Plus you are also using a fuel additive. There are so many vehicle forums out there and I'm a pretty savy searcher of the net, and I can't find anyone that says; " I bought/made a kit on my car and I'm getting XX% better."

I would like to hear how your friends are doing with theirs...
