I'm curious to know what this technology is that he can't show it...must not be something that we currently have? Maybe a turbo powering a battery or electric motor instead of force feeding more power? I don't know but it looks interesting, if you get any further info please post it!

I think he didn't show it cus he's in that Progressive Automotive X competition. He probably didn't want to give up the goods.
My guess is he's messing with the gas/ethanol mixture to get better mpg as part of his system...

Remeber it has to be technology that is over 60 years old. Do you think E65 was around back then?

Sounds like he's mixing gas with snake oil. For those that don't know how to make snake oil, you mix one part snake guts with 3 parts bull$*!t lol

So, the Fish Carburetor makes a comeback? Or is it fuel line magnets?

He found a lithium-hydro powerplant from a downed alien spaceship and retro-fitted it to a 87 Mustang
