Who knew. All I needed was 'chip' from them. Get the mileage of an Accord and the performance of Vette all in my Tahoe. This thing is gonna kill performance parts sales!

Uncle bought one for his Olds Intrigue and swears up and down it works. Raced him with it in and out and he claims it made a big difference and he was at the back bumper the whole time with it in and I just "walked away" with it out. I offered to scan the car for him and show him what little difference it made and he refused, "his butt can feel the difference for sure!" Best part about the mileage is when he went and did it for the car, he said the car got 60mpg. Asked him how he worked it and he said he read the numbers off his dash and divided it by gallons he pumped in the car. We asked if he ever reset it and he said he thought it did it all on his own.

Just another stupid gimmick. I bet the thing leans it out so much under cruse and keep it there under WOT. I hate **** like that but it is America and u can do that.

Yup he is going to get a 5 cent resistor. Instructions will say to put it in place of the the Intake Air Temp Sensor and to electrical tape it on place. My friend bought one because he is a dumbass. It pretty much tricks the car into thinking the intake air is colder. Pretty stupid really.

Hey guys, how about letting this thread die down. I'm the one selling these things and this thread could potentially hurt business. I make decent money off of these items.

Thanks,
Jon
