Looks a bit dodgy to me. If its too good to be true it usually is. If its such an effective cheap system that has all these benefits, why aren't car manufacturers fitting them as standard?

I think you should buy one and tell us all about it

They apparently fitted it to some E-type jag and a Ferrari, and the results were most astonishing... any PH'er got one fitted? I wander what happens if you put Optimax through it?

Sounds to good to be true. I can't believe that an innovation with this many possibilities for high-performance motoring hasn't already hit the headlines.

However, it does sound amazing. I'd love to know if anyone had any experience of using it.

Anyone got a winter cold?

I've got this amazing snake oil elixir which will cure all winter ailments - flu, colds, missing limbs, death - only £45.99 a bottle.

If they were really any good then they would already be fitted to cars by the manufacturers who spend millions for any slight improvement in performance or economy. The website you linked to has a remarkable lack of scientific testing. Why not before and after rolling road figures; should be easy to do.

If the catylsation worked that well then why do Shell, BP Texaco etc need massive multi billion pound distillation plants to achieve the same fuel grade.

The very small section about "cracking the long chain molecules" shows a total lack of understanding of octane rating. Pure Octane is a straight chain of 8 carbon atoms - with hydrogen on the other bonds. This has an octane rating (RON) of 50. For higher octane ratings you need multi-branched hydorcarbons, not shorter chains. If you crack octane in half you get (roughly) two molecules of butane. The gas you get in the blue canisters for camping. That is going to detonate even earlier.

Frankly I think the whole think is psuedo scientific bull designed to wring money out of complete mugs. Save your money - don't bother.

You can use Millers Competition Valve Lubricant(CVL) to increase 97 octane to 101, and you DO notice the difference
