http://www.gasmoney.org/Pricing/pricing.html-LET US HOPE THIS ONE WORKS! Before I just searched "THE FORCE", "SUPER FORCE" and found the web, they have a shipping facility in Monrovia, Ca. The inventor Dennis Leung always brought them to my house for $25.00 per box of 2 400 gel packs. The price has been the same for three years so I couldn't complain.Mean Green do you really dino test every time you change something on your car, or add a new fuel additive, or try a new oil? Yet you expect everone to run down and dino test. Let a few people try the product and report back their results.If you do buy some gel packs don't throw away the bag when it drys up, later I'll explain how to recharge them cheaply.

I dyno again after I do a new performance mod that is going to give me more hp. You do know you can't feel a hp gain at the crank of less than around 10 hp. So you are saying this gel pack is giving you a 10+ hp by saying you can feel it. If you are so sure it is giving you more hp then spend $40-$75 for three pulls and post your dyno sheets. You say to have people try it and post their results which is going by the old butt dyno again. Shoot, I've seen so many people on these forums swear that an intake has given them more power when in fact on the dyno you gain 2-3 hp and lose more torque. So that's gaining a few hp you can't even feel and losing torque which makes you slower on takeoff. Butt dyno's do fool the mind. But, if you're happy with it have fun with it. If you really believe in it then back it up with hard evidence. [?]

Damn, I've been wasting all my money on those high tech waxes.

I am annoyed when otherwise respectable parts suppliers stock worthless crap like this. It lends credibility when JEGS (for example) sells throttle body spacers.

Then again, they are Shiny, and don't do as much harm as some of the other underhood bling...

I receive the JEG's catalog too. They're claming 10% increase in torque, 15% more horsepower and 8% better fuel economy in "tests". I wonder whos tests came up with those figures?

That's why I say you can't believe manufacturers claims. You have to go with real world testing. For power it's the dyno or the track. For mpg, no matter what the claims, it narrows down to three things, proper tire pressure, a good tune and a soft foot. Anything else is a gimmick.
