Myself and co-worker watched a bunch of videos a few months ago and found some pretty surprising coatings like:

Thank you for the real world use/result of the product. I bought some of Eastwoods chrome recently, but have yet to try it.
2% increase in HP is pretty good for some plastic pipe and paint!
Adds mental HP as well, which is priceless
Looks like fun to me!

Hilarious too that I am debating some establishment MG types on the users forum on what I am doing.
They type 2 pages on why it won’t work!
Just told them to bring their MGB and race me 0 - 60 😂🤓😎
Took me 4 tries to get it but I’m definitely there.
Or actually, very close.
W/what I’d done before the ram/cold air, it would pull cleanly to 5500 in all gears.
Which is good for the tractor motor in the MGB.
W/the ram air it will now pull 6k in 1st before you’re ready to shift!
Way cool stuff.
For next to nothing!
Sometimes it pays to be a red neck!
Almost gave up on the MG idea because it was all about me building a hot rod motor for one and I studied the motor!
What a turd!
Bigger stroke than bore, siamesed intake and exhaust ports, 3’ long rods…..
You couldn’t pick a worse 4 banger to hot rod!
W/what this thing is showing me, for how much air it wants, through 1.5” carburetors………, I am stunned.
On the toy side though, they’re still cheap, parts are easier to find and cheaper than for your wife’s Honda!
I can go out in the shop w/a cup of coffee on a Saturday morning while the Mrs is still sleeping, for a 1/2 hr, and find something to fix/improve/update.
And I go back in the house w/a smile on my face.
Fun too that growing up as a muscle car guy, always thought these cars were “cute” but turds.
Now I get it.
The factory owners manual lists front/rear weight bias!
Within 2 lbs!
A blast to slide around corners!
A new Corvette I couldn’t drive at 5/10’s, this thing you can drive at 10/10ths and you’re only doing 60!

Twin,
I'm not sure what they use. They are VERY tight-lipped about it, though....
