I love it! Who hasn't poured over all those old JC Whitney catalogs and marveled at all the magic bean devices? Always wondered if I equipped a single car with all of them for an increase of 10 to 20% each, if the gas tank would overflow from *producing* gasoline.

They had those surface gap spark plugs (used in aviation and some race engines...standard regular production ignition systems could barely supply enough juice to take advantage of the potential)...then there was that ignition rotor supercharger, I still have one and it made the engine run worse! Guess it supercharged all the air in the cap and made it conductive by ionizing it which led to crossfire. Sheesh
