Ooops, ya did it again, and agreed with me

If you make one change at a time, and one changes shows no gain, then for
all "Practical purposes" it didn't work.  If you generate more power it is
reflected in performance..  If your doing performance tuning with say a
clogged fuel filter then your not doing any tuning anyway.

It's been shown to make no improvement
