But if it was really as great as explained, why havent we heard of it earlier ? If any one tries this, surely tell us the results. I wouldnt mind getting better gas mileage myself. _____________________________ GT40P heads 5 angle valve job w/upgraded springs Trickflow Stage 1 Cam Trickflow Street intake BBK pulleys 4.10s TOTALED (in reply to randy78045) Post #: 7

You can't put too much acetone, or it will show no gains, or maybe even a loss. You only put like..an ounce for every ~12 gallons of gas, if I remember correct. I doubt I am remembering that right though..but it was something around that. (in reply to tattooedbelg) Post #: 15
