They're mainly known for their ignition systems, but they also make products for car audio. You can buy just coils, just plug wires, or systems including these plus one of Jacobs 'computers' to make the most of the higher quality parts (as compared to OE Bosch/Bougicord). The principle behind most of their systems is pretty simple - produce a spark with much more energy than the stock system, but also adjust the spark with each revolution to optimize the spark to the current conditions inside the combustion chamber. As I say, this is a simplistic description, there are quite a few more details involved. The idea is to make your engine burn fuel more completely, thus giving you better performance AND better fuel economy. Cool eh?
As Sparky mentioned, they offer a 30 day money back guarantee, with a 10% restocking fee if you decide to send it back. They specify for each vehicle what your HP/Torque and miles per gallon increase will be, and if you don't get what they claim, they'll give you your money back! For most of their systems, they claim about 12%-15% increase in fuel economy, and I think HP works out small, maybe 10 HP on a 16V 2.0l T Saab, but still..
Anyhow check out their web site for more detailed info. The one thing I don't really like about them is their salesmen are definitely that, almost to the point of being pushy. This means it's pretty easy to get a free catalog or other info out of them, though.
Cheers,
Aaron
