We should follow this and find the person who buys it when it is bought.

I seen the same thing this past weekend & posted a similar thread in here.
Progressive Tuner? Wtf?

I found more info. That dial is just a variable resistor or rheostat that plugs into your air temp sensor in your lid. Supposed to trick the PCM into reading false air temps to advance timing & fuel or something to that effect. You could do it with a VR from radio shack for less than a $1 if you wanted to

you would think that if he would have a FAKE dyno chart he would at least make it look good, 206hp? i hope he wasnt talking LS1 there!

I love the ones who put 98-04 camaro? You would think if your trying to market something you would at least know what year its available for.

I dont know about anyone else but i wouldnt buy anything from someone who doesnt know what year they stopped making the car.

i wish you could comment about auctions. this guy would get flamed bigtime. if i didn't have half a spec of decency i'd definitely get on ebay and sell some dumb **** like that. just not for an ls1...i'd never rip off someone who drove such a wonderful car

I was gonna' copy and paste the dyno for all to see but...."Unauthorized usage or distribution of this graphic is strictly prohibited"
I don't wanna get sued by such a honest and just all around good citizen.
And yeah, what LS1 puts down 206hp hell doesn't the 3800 V6 almost reach that? Or is this thing gonna back me down a hundred first....and then pump me back up a whoppin 7-22 hp. Sign me the F up!
Oh wait, damn it! Bidding is over.
BTW: Who would buy a hp device from a company called Lights and Things??

That is pretty classic isn't it. I can sorta make out a cable and a round thingy. Yeah I'm in!
Gee I wonder why it didn't sell. He might as well have said "send 5 box tops, and 49.99 for postage and hadling to...." (you younger guys may not "get" that)

No kidding, I had a guy come into work yesterday that had just installed this thing on his car and asked me if I had ever heard of it!!! I was like WTF is that!! The directions are actually handwritten on a peice of notebook paper!!! I asked him where he got it and he never answered me. Mind you this kid is like 17 and just bought this 95 TA M6. I was real curious about this thing and you guys just did!!! BTW it did absolutley NOTHING to this car and I almost fell over laughing when he left!!!!

I feel sorry for ppl that buy crap like this-Ebay should really do a better job "policing" this kind of crap. If you really want to see some crap try looking at "ricer" parts on ebay-I wondered where ppl used to get that garbage b4 autozone and best buy started carying it.

I'm sure there are LS1s with 206hp, you just have to take out 2 or 3 spark plugs.
