Well they claim to adjust the A/F ratio to run a little richer, sort of like a piggy back. It is beliveable but I wish someone actualy had so he/she can testify lol.... I mean it's like $40 bucks, if no one buys it I will lol....

This will in turn tell the engine to increase or decrease horsepower and torque.
This quote kills me!! Is the computer in our cars holding back horsepower?!!!

Yeah, this is definitely a load of poop. All it does is make your engine run rich and burn up more gas.

if this is the same as i have seen for other cars.. all it is suppose to do is lie to the ECU so it thinks your getting cooler air than actual.. so it runs alittle richer.. im going to agree with most here and say... don't spen your money on it..

As said, this is nothing more than a simple resistor that you can get for a few cents from Radio Shack. Albeit, it's a little fancier by giving you a switch... But still, if you want some extreme performance get a volt meter and rip out that 200,000 ohm resistor and splice it into you MAF wire. This mod will work really well with a little boost. You know, like 90 psi.

Just drive downhill all the time. You'll definitly notice the difference in acceleration and horsepower.

Bottom line don't buy it......it is not worth it. It will not work the way they claim nor how you wish it would. If the "resistor" worked how it was claimed...... EVERYONE would have one on their mod list. cause it would be the cheapest 20 hp that you could get. But if you like that product maybe get these this http://www.shoplaser.com/ or http://www.turbonator.com/
