    I used to run this in my 5k Tq before I chipped it up to 15psi.  
I can't sit here and preach to everyone how the stuff made a 
significant improvement in power or mileage. I was just looking to 
get the max horsepower out of the then stock 5k Tq. Never did I 
notice an increase in anything. I think it was mainly in my head. You 
will however notice a reddish-brown film that it leaves on your spark 
plugs and oxygen sensor. I had so much buildup on my O2 sensor that 
it rendered it inoperative. Mechanic said never again! So I decided 
to get the chip and WG spring- solved all my problems :-)   Just my 
experience with the stuff. HTH,
