What do you reckon? will it work as well as they claim?
It's just an oversized capacitor isn't it?

yes just a capacitor sealed inside a Al enclosure, if its anygood they might include say a 22V zener but doesn't say.
It constantly amazes me these adds showing dyno figures like here...come on a diff of 7bhp? thats within the variable tolerances of doing several dyno runs, pick your worst and best...it prooves nothing!!
How much they want for this? if its a decent capacitor, for the packaging of it i'd pay maybe $15, it is true about the electrical noise, esp if running a CDI ignition.
