It allows you to set the fans, rev limiter, shift points, shift firmness, gear changes & tire changes, remove the speed limiter and the power tuning, it not a bad product, I like it personally because it's really simple to use. BTW, they are $349 NOT $500!

It is a waste of money with an M6. Get Ed Wright tuning and spend the $450 but get it after you do all of your mods.
