Not so much a scam. Its just aimed at the guillible people that want to spend sometimes £10+ on a resistor that costs pennies. All it does is simply advance the timing.

Could make you engine 'noc' (or is it knock?) if you use low octane fuel.

Generally bad for the engine.

I thought these went in the CTS wire to increase fueling, and they can work.
