i'm not a troll, in all seriousness, dont waste your time with these silly devices, just get your factory ECM tuned for the engine response that you want.
If you read the description, you would have seen that the "CoW Booster" is just the name that Chuck has given to his specific ECM tune dealing with throttle control and can be fine tuned exactly how you want it. That is why Chuck and I have both said that it is NOT comparable to external throttle controllers (those silly devices).

It sounds like you should be voting for the CoW Booster.

Who gives a rats *** about what anybody is running but them selves . Why even have popularity poll . it is ridiculous to compare some plug in gimmick to a professional tuner .

Bill Curlee,

You must be one of those "shills" they are saying Chuck recruited to back him up in this thread. Only 31,000 posts and a NEW member who has only been on here since 2001? You should be ashamed of yourself, sir...

Does that mean you like the CoW Booster? Or does that mean that you don't know what it is?

Chuck,
Maybe you need a new name for your tune. Looks like lots of people are confused.

Quiet ? Not really, just waiting for a post from you (or your talking heads, whose posts strangely bear an eerie resemblance to yours) that does not read like a billboard from a carnival barker.
