Snake oil or for real....??

I was thumbing through a issue of Popular Hot Rodding and read an article on a big hp motor which mentioned an fuel additive that gave some extra hp and less wear claims. I don't really pay much attention to these snake oil claims, but the company's address caught my eye since it is just a few blocks from my work.

I started reading the five page how it works section but it started to sound greek to me. Has anyone heard/used this stuff? Does it work as claimed?

How about one of the oil saleman/oil war guys translating this into english? They show both a gas/diesel additives and also their own oil.
