He was vague on the details except something along the lines of hoping to get it down to $3k. And his "little Honda" was getting 20mpg before the wonder rotor was installed and then jumped to 30-40? Sounds fishy. You just lead foot it before install to slam it down to 20, then baby it after install to get 40, right?
Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

Though vague, I wonder if its similar to my idea of adding an electric motor to the rear for taking off from a stop? This is where you use most of your fuel. I had envisioned something along the lines of something similar to a golf cart in that when you took your foot off the gas, the engine died, but when you press the gas, the electric motor kicks in like a starter with a solenoid to take off as the engine starts. This would be easiest in a manual car as then you could start in 2nd or 3rd depending on how quickly the electric motor gets you going. Would only require a second battery or two, and could use a roof mounted solar panel in addition to a larger alternator to keep charged. Regenerative braking would be cool too but I think would drive the costs up.1963 Fairlane - future NSS drag car
