I'm with you. It's sad that you have to watch around every corner for a scam. Just another good reason this site is here. A new guy/gal might be taken, but spend a week on here and not a chance with some cra_ like that.

They dont even fully explain what they are trying to sell you....module....what kind of module?!? what does it do exactly...where does it go....it could be a mod that is explained on here that you could do a lot cheaper yourself. noticed how he put the word safely in quotations what is that supposed to mean?

What a crock

Its like those guys on there that have an air intake temp sensor bypass that is an ohm meter that supposedly tells your computer that the air intake temp is 60* or some crap like that.

It is bad you have to watch over your shoulder anymore because people are so greedy that they will do anything to rip someone off to make some money

sorry... gotta raise the BS FLAG on that one...! how do you make an additional 80 hp... the answer: you inject more fuel.... inject more fuel = make more power = make more heat... but... according to this genuis, his product doesn't do that.... BS FLAG..! sorry, you can't get around the laws of physics... this sounds like so much manure...!

yeah the lack of anything but the graphs is more than a little fishy. I think he's trying to ride this wave of new moduels and programmers.
