Who really cares what the f*#@in' dyno says? Is the car quicker or not? Does is drive better or not? EVERYBODY raves about the SOTP difference/drivability improvements and most pick up at least .1-.2 seconds in the quarter. The consensus is the Powerloader is a great product and worth the $. I am convinced, and I will be ordering my PL when I get by tax relief check in a couple weeks, courtesy of President GWB. Can't wait!

I still think it would be cool to see dyno sheets and track times before and after the program had been installed.

Gains could be seen seen by increases in RWHP & RWT or by decreases in ET at the strip.

A few months back I installed the Powerloader in my 2001 vette. The performance difference was outstanding. Last week I took it in for service and they flashed the PCM. When I got the car back I was not sure that they really flashed the PCM and the Powerloader was not loaded because the car had great power, compaired to the Dodge Inrepid that the rental company gave me.

I reinstalled the Powerloader last night, on advice from MattG, and I realized again just how much more power the Powerloader gives to the car.

It was well worth the price and wait!!! :cheers:

to me it seems like it wakes up the tranny, isn't there any other devices that can do this?
