No......They do not do a thing. You can get a far bigger improvement by simply changing to synthetic oil after your engine is broken in.

I have to agree with the others. They belong in a group with other four letter words. J U N K

In fact, Mike from SoCalHHR's bought one of these just to check it out and he came to the same conclusion. I'm sure when he has the time, he'll be buy and give you more details on his findings.

As someone else said, even just changing your oil will make a difference. Then if you add CGS and/or an IMCO T924, you'll see more performance than you ever would out of one of those.

Changing out your spark plugs to performance spark plugs would give you a lot better performance. Especially since you have a 2.2L

They come with factory AC Delco platinum single prong plugs. Unfortunately, I don't know the part number, but it is in your owner's manual towards the end of the manual.

Didn't Kevin Harvick get fined by NASCAR for using a tornado on his cup car last year? I think it cost him 25 points and $25,000.
