Default Fitch Fuel Catalyst?

Anybody ever hear of this one. My friend with an S10/350ci crate motor is talking about this thing.
I think it's a gimmick.

I saw this on Horsepower TV or one of those Spike shows. They did some tests with an LS motor on the dyno. It made a little more power and decreased the gph by about .6 gph. They also showed how you could run it on lower octane fuel, but it lost power and gph. I went on their website and looked at it. I'd like to find out more about it too.

It was Horsepower TV, and they ran it on a crate LS7.

I'm not sold on their dyno testing.

I agree it wasn't a very detailed test. Lately I have had a hard time finding gas stations that give me decent fuel consistently. Just wondering if this might help. My milelage has been jumping up and down with each tank of gas and I would like to get the most out of them that I can.

Damn, this post is back from the dead! I still think it's a gimmick (like the tornado) but somebody please prove me wrong, lol.
