Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Only thing I'd be wary of is the chip tuning. Chip tuning in the industry if for increased power not efficiency. More power = more fuel, and please for the love of all that is intelligent stay away from the ebay chips that say 20%more horsepower!!!! etc... They do more harm than good.

A good chip, or tune will run you in excess of $200dollars.
