Will this make my truck faster?

So I've been reading about how all these reports have scientifically proven that the more stickers you have on your truck, the faster it will go, the more HP you will have, etc. I recently received this in the mail, and wondered if you guys think it's worth installing. I couldn't find any published specs, but I'll bet I get about 15 more HP and around 1.5 more MPG. Let me know what you think. Thanks in advance!



P.S. Enjoy the weekend

the sticker won't add power, but the product will, just add some to each fluid in your truck...

Theres a bronco in this town with a ton of stickers and he seems to go really fast, so the theory must be correct.

I believe mother's stickers only add 7RWHP since they don't make performance products...sorry to ruin your day

P.S. Only the *ss, Gas, or Grass stickers are proven to improve fuel mileage.

A good ****** wax job will take seconds off of you quarter. Haven't you ever heard of parasite drag. Smoothing out that paint increases the slipstream around the truck = more speed

I know that's not necessarily HP, but hey anything to slide to the finish line quicker

Does anyone notice how when you get something new for your truck or clean it it seems to run much better?

I don't know about the speed part but I put a giant GLOCK sticker on the back and people quit cutting me off on the interstate and I no longer get the single finger salute.

Almost as effective as the rear window mounted gun rack with the .12 gauge and the .270

My S&W and NRA stickers seem to keep most A-holes off my rear bumper. I'll try the Mothers sticker and see if it makes me go any faster. Thanks for the tip!

I personally don't like stickers on my truck, so every time I get a half-way cool sticker, it goes on my beer fridge in my garage. Just this last fall I added a "Detroit Truetrac" sticker to my fridge. It didn't make it faster, but the fridge now has a hell of alot more traction!

I can confirm the hp. Some random stickers thrown on our jeep has sure enough increased horsepower, along with added traction on the rocks.
