Snake oil??

Has anyone heard of these guys?<br>http://www.drperformance.com/performance_dyno.html<br>How can you make more power without adding more fuel?<br>I found this after checking out an auction for a 1st gen with one of their &quot;Performance tuned pumps&quot; that was supposed to be good for an extra 90HP.<br>Since I haven't seen it here or on &quot;The other site&quot; I grew suspicious.

Re:Snake oil??

I couldn't find a picture of the product anywhere, but it sounds a lot like one of those things you put in the intake to &quot;swirl&quot; the air for better fuel/air mixture. I don't see how that would help us at all, because they'd have us &quot;simply place it in the intake&quot; preturbo. Wouldn't the turbo negate any swirl effect of anything before the turbo? Anyway, since the website is real evasive and doesn't provide much in the way of information, my vote is SNAKE OIL.
