Well the fuel management is going to trick the ECU into allowing more fuel into ur engine at the right time ultamitley creating more horsepower and better throttel response.
The hot spark will hook up to ur ignition making sure that at the higher rpms your spark plug will deliver the same size and power spark as when it was at the lower rpms also reating more horsepower


Just two simple ways to gain alittle horsepower without dropping a T0N of cash

Fuel Managment systems allow you to alter facotry fuel maps throughout the RPM ranges. It requires you to know what your doing when it comes to tuning a car and you will also need a wideband 02 sensor to see what your A/F is at all times. Adding more fuel to your motor doesn't add more horsepower, it just adds more fuel. The trick to tuning a car properly is to adjust the A/F and lean out the motor as much as possible without frying it. When boosting a car, you will obviously need to add more fuel because you are forcing more air. So in turn, if you want to boost your car, you are going to need a standalone ecu or fuel amangment system.

NOS also requires added fuel depending if you are using a dry shot or wet.

On a near stock motor (intake, exhaust) fuel managment is the biggest waste of money. IMO.
