yeah right. the feedback looks fake. like they were bribed or something. if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. unless someone on here got one and can prove me wrong i think its b.s

One of those resistors that splices into the wires to your MAF by the looks of it. The sad part is not everyone knows enough about vehicles and get scammed by this BS, it should be a crime. Not only is it faulse advertising but it can damage a perfectly fine running vehicle.

those are awful high claims for a resistor in a box. people will believe what they want

it would be nice to have those kinds of gains with a single $20 box though

with an extra 85mpg, that $20 chip will pay for your $400 sct

I read thru about a thousand of the guys feedback. Either he has a major money making scam going or he's selling a ton of them to himself so he can control the feedback. I find it hard to believe that anybody would be so stupid for this guy to sell as many as the feedback shows. I guess there is a sucker born every minute.

The way the feed back system at e-bay is now really favors sellers. If you leave negative feed back on a seller they turn around and do it to you. Most people just leave positive just to avoid hassles they got it done deal.

Sellers cant leave negative feedback to the buyer anymore though. Or atleast they cant click the red icon. Ebay cant control what they post though.

So do you think if I got two of them I could have 600 HP?



I honestly tried one of these just for fun. If any thing I noticed a rougher idle, and maybe the slightest, slightest power increase, This was on an 06 yukon xl though. I took it out and threw it away as I was sure it was doing more harm than good. I knew going in it was a scam, but just wanted to see what a little black box could do.
