Sure... Feel free to waste your own money, trying to prove that this rip-off somehow actually works.

Funny thing about us Ecomodders is, a lot of us have made dumb mistakes at one point or another. I tried to make a non-viable form of cylinder deactivation work, while others here have tried other discredited methods. Along the way, we have gained experience in what works and what doesn't. Along the way, as well, we learned a few underlying principles as to what may work and what may not. Therefore, when one of us posts in a deceptive thread, such as this one, we speak from experience.

And, if and when we seem hostile in our posts, it's because we've seen, over and over and over and over again, the same damned attempts at deceptive posting that aim only to lighten the wallets of newbs that post here. See, we think that if newbs get ripped off by one of these charlatans, and they happen to associate the charlatan with EcoModder.com, EcoModder.com might therefore gain an unfair amount of the resulting bad feelings. Therefore, we try as best we can to distance ourselves from said charlatans.

Have fun with jumping off this cliff of yours. There may be others who would catch you or console you once you crash at the bottom, but I will not be one of them. Neither, I suspect, will other veteran EcoModders who have posted here. We tried to warn you against jumping off in the first place, only to have you close your mind to us.

Do ask yourself this question as you are falling... If it really were so simple to improve the fuel economy of a gasoline engine with a throttle plate simply by machining a groove at a strategic spot in the throttle bore, then why hasn't this been done by Honda or Toyota or GM? You know, three automakers who are currently selling highly efficient cars on the market?
