The much of the whole aftermarket [snake oil] concept relies on the low education [as far as physics] of the buying public.

The engine fills with air FROM the supercharging effect of the Earth's atmospheric pressure [14.7 psi at sea level].

Novices believe the engine sucks in air when in fact the air is forced in [into cylinder] by outside pressure to fill the partial vacuum created after the heated air expands out the exhaust.
