What search engine should we use to find it this product? I just used everyone I could think of and came up with Pixie Farts and Unicorn Milk.-deathtrain

Heihetech,
There is a post on this forums regarding how to properly pimp your product on this site. I'm not an admin here but I thought I would point it out. I understand that you are not currently selling them but it still applies IMO.

That said if your product works. I think your test scheme is incorrect. That is using a four cylinder which requires the a significant amount of it's power for normal operation (yes hypermiling reduces needed power in most situations). To me it would better suited to a vehicle/engine combo that was generally overpowered in most situations but occasionally needs full power available. A work truck or a street/strip performance vehicle would be good examples. I think one of those would best show off your product. If you split a V8 in half you get a 4 cylinder (yes that a gross oversimplification) and 4 cylinders push vehicles around everyday. Not so much with 2 cylinders.

While all this arguing does provoke thoughts on the subject until you can provide a test product or a third party documented test it's really academic. Your pimping/defending a product that doesn't exist as far as an end consumer is concerned.

My suggestion would be to donate a prototype (with the understanding that it's a prototype and may be refined further later) to a member (no not me) of this forum or at least make one available at cost to a member. This would be the equivalent of beta test and could provide valuable research for you at a low cost. If members are willing the unit could be swap between member vehicles to try it on a wide variety of platforms.

If your product proves out I'm sure you would find a lot people interested in it here. Don't take this post as bashing I would very much like to see your product proved out. That's my two cents.-GW
