Re: power boost valves

["Nick Koleszar" <nick@domain.elided>]

I may be wrong but I have been giving this some thought and I have yet to
see any independant scientific evidence that the claims made by FSE about
their Power Boost Valve have any basis in fact except versus standard fuel
regulators on much-modified cars or standard cars with failing fuel
regulators.

The FSE Power Boost Valve seems to be at least twice as expensive as other
fuel pressure regulators. FSE basically claim that their device increases
power by increasing fuel pressure and, therefore, the fuel going in to the
cylinder.

How they can get away with claiming that this will increase power and
driveability in every car is beyond me.

Let's see the independantly verified dyno readouts on cars which are
otherwise standard and in optimum state of tune. Let's see why it's worth
paying the extra for the Power Boost Valve versus a stock arrangement or
versus a perfectly good fuel pressure regulator by other companies.
