It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Thank you.

How do people do it? Drive along, turn off engine whilst rolling. Pump foot. Turn on engine?

Depends on the engine. On an old cummins theres a screw you can just turn up to eleven. On more modern stuff you need a specific computer tuner, which the EPA made very hard to get a few years ago.
