I believe this is the same concept as using one of those diodes that fools the ECU into constantly advancing the timing. I would stay away.

Tried one back in my early days. Nothing.

Then I learned the whole trickery behind it. I'd stay away. Besides, according to most of my readings, the computer will simply relearn and adapt, so in the end it won't work anymore.
