Tricking you engine into thinking anything doesn't usually work out well.

Hell no

Well, a stupid question like "will a £2 piece of shit give me a power increase" could only warrant a stupid answer.

technically if it advances the timing it will increase bhp, BUT does it or does it just say it does. it doesn't say by how much it advances the timing so you will need to run on high ron fuel and it will probably blow the engine anyway.
