I agree completely, but in the absence of independent data I have to go with what logic implies. I'd love to see some independent data on this. I'm not casting aspersions on the company that makes this device, but I've seen too many products with wild claims backed up by spurious data. It makes sense that this device would smooth out the power curve by better atomization of the fuel from the accelerator pump, but beyond that I have a hard time envisioning any benefit.

Ken, as an engineer I appreciate the value of R&D, and I can honestly say that science still fascinates and amazes me - even though I understand the principles of flight, every time I watch an aircraft take off I still think it's almost magical.
