Chip - No such thing. However the AP Tuner works well, albeit pricey.

Gumout - Yes, periodic fuel system cleaning, esp. injectors, is a good idea in any vehicle. I prefer Lucas or STP but Gumout is fine.

And kill their sales of big blocks, turbos, etc? No. If the stuff worked, they'd buy up the patents and suppress them. Send out private security to take care of anyone selling them on the side. Just like they did with the 80 mpg carburetors.

They absolutely do work. People just don't know how to use them. You need to buy three of them and put them in series. This is the only way to get +50HP and +100MPG. You need to buy them now!!
