Ask them to prove it, see how many of them are able to

The ECU's in most cars are designed to tune out those kinds of things. It works simply by adding octane to the fue, however this also means the car will run slightly richer. Anyone that knows, only diesel motors gain power when running rich. You would need to retune the ECU in order to get gains from it.

Don't stick **** in your tank that isn't supposed to be there.

Also, don't listen to your friends for car advice.
