There are no quick, cheap fixes to gain HP and Torque. If this worked GM would have done it to exact such spectacular gains for so little money. I always avoid products like this as they're for suckers. There are no magic bullets.

From the description, it sounds like this is little more than a potentiometer you plug in to intercept the signals coming fom the IAT.

<$5 in parts at radio shack.

i don't know why people even sweat about wasting money into buying such useless stuff...

just change your traction mode to the "competitive mode" and you will gain 50 more hp.

That's what I got also. Maybe the item was taken down before I got a chance to look at it. From the other posts, it sounds like it would have given me a good laugh.
