I didn't actually say filling the crank made more power on its own, but from what I have read & understand, it helps direct fuel through the crank in some way that would help towards a performance increase when used with other modifications, like lightening the crank. Maybe it makes tuning easier, I don't know, just going off things I have read & heard.
If it done nothing then it wouldn't be used would it.?
