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.

Can people use some common sense here ?

if any of these **** really works, Im sure every single god damn auto manufacture will snap like 10 of them into all their cars to make it at least 400 hp.

how slow can people get these days ...

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!!
