That statement is totally false. It is the open mined scientist that does the experiments and shares the unbiased results that keeps the manufacturers honest. It is also he that that ensure competition between manufacturers. You are that guy Ron. I'm sure if somebody were to give you a blue unit you'd put it right up along side the red one and tell us the diffrences. You'd probably even throw the cam driven diaphram pump in there too so we can see just what it is that's so great about these units.
People say they work, I have no doubt. They have better pressure, the truck sounds diffrent, etc, etc. This is all great but what about the manufacturers claims? I have yet to see a dyno chart. I'm tempted to fork out the pennies for a blue unit just so I can put it up next to Ron's red one and see what we get.

When I lost my third L/P I chose the preparator for reliability only, though there were claims of HP increases. If there were substantial gains from these systems in the performance areas, we would all have them installed. I also think that by-passing the banjo bolts would help slightly if you were in the 400+ hp range. Perhaps members in this range would get a slight increase in power with a new pump... who knows. I expected reliability and got it. Too bad Dodge couldn't have done it right the first time.
