It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Thank you.

How do people do it? Drive along, turn off engine whilst rolling. Pump foot. Turn on engine?

There are kits, with switches that dump extra fuel in.

Humanity was a mistake.

I have seen a kit on amazon that plug into the exaust tip and just pump a mist of diesel right in the hot tip. Crazy shit people will do just to piss off others.

Just like those fucking light bars that shine a thousand Suns in your face while driving at night. It's illegal but they turn it on only to piss off people when there is no cop around.

Depends on the engine. On an old cummins theres a screw you can just turn up to eleven. On more modern stuff you need a specific computer tuner, which the EPA made very hard to get a few years ago.
