don't be fooled by those things, they are nothing more than resistors, and you will NOT see 20 hp. that's a 20% increase in power... expect to spend like a grand or more to see that kinda power increase.

Yea it is just a resistor and it is more for creating a richer fuel mixture which results in gas conservation more than anything

1 grand is being generous for that kinda power.
