Nope, No break. If it can do 90HP at the wheels I'll shut up and stop talking and buy one!! Although I don't know how that gonna happen because even with a HOT custom chip stock injectors will only push 80 HP maybe on a good day with the hand of God pushing the truck. I HATE GIMMICKS!!! and people who Lie about poducts to sell them.

What ever happened to good old fashioned honesty????

I paid $500 bucks for my edge in my 02 so if this works as well for my 94 and only costs $100 bucks Im happy.
And theres a list of people saying it works.

I'm not saying that it doesn't work, and I'm happy that it worked for you!! I'm just saying that it doesn't make 90HP at the wheels. Just like TS doesn't make 140 or 120 or 100 at the wheels. I'm getting tired of people lying to sell sell sell. Honesty is the best policy. Look man, no hard feelings here. We weren't even talking about the same guy. I'm glad that you got a product that worked for you. I just didn't like that new member throwing that out there in his first 2 posts pushing parts... thats all. We cool here? Buy you a beer and call it a day?

Oh..... Well good luck, maybe it will be what your looking for. I just didn't want this fight to be between us because it wasn't suppose to be. It'll be interesting what these guys say back about the 90HP thing. Keep us posted but I will bet you anything it don't put down 90 on the dyno.

EDIT: Dude... are you slinging parts??? You just posted that EXACT same thing on another thread... and I mean exact.... Very suspicious man...

ALSO looks like "that guy" has only sold one... I could only find one review for that item.

ALSO everyone here is more educated than to buy something like that... I'm sorry If I sound upset, but you dug up 2 threads from 06 and posted on them, I don't know if you trying to push parts or what but were not into that here... sorry if otherwise but thats what it seems like...
Robb I'm not trying to push parts I just thought I would do a search to see if there was any other threads on this subject and I'm lazy. So I copied what I posted in the last posting, thats all. Not everyone can afford a high priced chip and in compairing each of them this one is smaller. I bought one too and thought if anyone else was curious about it I would let them know.

For anybody that knows how to use a soldering iron you can build one of those "chips" from ebay for less than $5. And I am with Robb, when they can prove on a dyno their results I will give them a break. And frankly they a making a killing on those few people who do buy them. If I could feel good about myself at the end of the days selling those things I would, but I can't so I won't!

I was just trying to give someone that can't drive a soldering iron options, that's all.

Thats perfectly fine. It was no dig at you. Some don't feel comfortable with making those and for those people they either need to just skip it or buy one. Or just spend another $300 and get a real chip.

Meaning if you are trying to sell something here (not saying you are) you wont get it by, too many people that know alot about the trucks.
