You missed the heading of the article. It said:

"Although the examples shown here are motorcycle engines, these principles apply to all 4-stroke engines: Street or race motorcycles, cars, snowmobiles, airplanes any, yes...even lawnmowers!! (regardless of brand, cooling type and number of cylinders)."

After spending $40,000+ on a new Challenger, I am leery about his "hard acceleration/hard deceleration" advice. The only thing that I agree with is a quick oil change to remove metal filings.
