Also from DPS's website "The results were amazing! Not only did the torque, horsepower and acceleration increase"
Marketing is clever and often misleading...as a student with a marketing major, I've seen the tricks. From what I've read, K&G is not claiming that increasing engine horsepower output is the primary purpose of the DPS, they are talking about increased electrical power produced by converting "bad" currents into usable power. On the other hand, Igor is stating that the DPS's purpose is not to increase engine horsepower output, therefore their stories are not conflicting.

In regards to that third quote, you are taking it out of its context. "Not only did..." implies that the increase in engine power was not the only product of the system, therefore using it as evidence that an increase in engine power is the DPS's primary purpose is invalid.

Again I'll say, try it out. Otherwise, you have no personal proof that it is BS, only what you consider evidence. If you still don't like it, send it back at no cost to you.
