What does everybody think about...

That new fuel catalyst kit that was on Hot Rod TV this last couple of days???

Thier tests did show a pretty good reduction of emissions which means better milage a more power due to more efficient fuel consuption..

Yeah, what they say it does is remove any extra molecular material from the gas so that it goes back to it's "Just Refinded" state. It reduces hydrocarbons and other gases in the exhaust which means we will all pass smog alot easier and best of all the fuel is burned more efficiently.

It's about half the size of one of our FI fuel filters and installs under the hood in just a couple of minutes with the kit they provide....

My car passed CA emissions with a rating of "0" emissions but I think this would even help my car run better.

Hey Colin, how much do you wanna bet?? How about $100, I'll fax you the emissions print out.....you do know I'm only talking about what CA calls "Harmful Emissions" though right?
