The driver really didn't say if it improved the power did he? Also the guy with the camera just said something about the car running rich. They said nothing about any improvement. Is running on a Dino a really expensive thing to do? I'm care crazy but not the technical part, I don't even know what a piggy back is, they should have showed that.

Not to critsize too much, but they posted this video not mentioning any of the actual numbers they said they had (dyno related), didn't use someone that was familiar with the CVT to begin with (stated driver has only driven that car once), didn't catch the fact that they claimed the car had a 2.0L engine (and we're supposed to trust their knowledge on this particular car), and if you notice just before the driver backs off the throttle, there is a police car across the street in the parking lot...didn't matter, just thought it was funny that he was running "flat out" right past a cop. Well thought out video. Lets try again guys.

Another issue with the video that I didnt mention was that they didnt do the test from a dead stop. The take off lag was the problem people are hoping the piggyback helps to resolve. Yet their example is s
done as they already at a cruising speed. That doesnt help.
