I was looking into these at the shop I go to the other day. There were alot more expensive though. They say it works out well and explained it to me like Random just did to you but I have not seen any proof of it either. I will say this though, the shop has been fairly straight forward with me so far. No reason to believe they would lie. They have told me some things are a waste, they have told me if I can get it cheaper elsewhere, and have cut me decent deals on pricing.

I just want to point something out again. If you were to dyno test these, I would want the first run with them INSTALLED, and then REMOVE them for the second dyno run.

The reason for the *backwards testing*?
It should be faster/easier to quickly remove the cables off their various engine attachment points, rather than try to install them for the first time. This ensures that the Dyno conditions are the same between the two runs, or at least as close as possible.

$70 bucks is alot of smack When the all you are buying is wire! You should be able to do the same thing with battery cable from the local auto store and save some cash and get the same effect if any!! Just buy several different cable mnt them in differrent spots on the engine and there you go!

Why not use one of those G-tech meters? At least it could give you a clue whether they make any difference. Autoweek uses those.

Dude when messing with the electricals you might want a testing medium that is independant of the car.

I think on g-techs site, they say that based on the algorithms they use, they are ment ot only be accurate in RWD drive, hence why they are market toward mustangs and other rwd cars.
