Sounds pretty harmless and interesting. Promises better gas mileage and quite significant hp increase (20hp avg).Has anyone done this before?? Is it worth trying?Do you guys think I will screw my air intake or any engine components?? Any info is appreciated. Thanks

Forget your Rolex, I could sell you the Big Ben clock in London.
They will change the clock to a digital one, that's much more accurate.

My uncle who works for the EU fiscal authority have authorized me to sell.

I would not do it for just 20hp. Not good enough for my right foot

I rather add a 35 shot nitrous system that guarantees extra 30hp.

You would be better of putting your money in a big pile and setting fire to it.

Better still give it to me so I can go out and get drunk.

I love the bit about everyone in the USA using it to get rid of your dependancy on mid east oil.

Bush would be gutted after all his efforts to take over the middle east for his mate's.

Neon Sport has only 35whp? That's very sad......
