Default Performance Throttle Calibrator Module? Does it work? Is it worth it?

I was looking at these in the CF Mall. Do they actually work? Is it worth $95 ? It sure seems like a basic concept (telling the CPU 100% when your at 60%) Has anyone took one apart since it sounds like you should be able to get the same results with under $5 worth of electonics components. I wonder whats in there, we could build our own. Just a thought. :)

It only performs weight reduction by lightening your wallet. :)

Why not save the money and just floor the gas pedal to get 100% :confused:

Adjusting your TPS a little on the "high side" would do the same thing, wouldn't it?
