I think I know the answer but just wondered if anyone had ever heard of this outfit? Sounds like voodoo hp to me. Most auto mfg would kill for a 20% mpg increase.

Looks like BS. Probably will mess your truck up. There is no way possible that it can reprogram your computer through the IAT (inlet air temp sensor) wires. All it can be doing is tricking the computer into a different air temp thus changing the mixture. I would be very afraid to put it on my truck.

Only thing missing from this site was an image of the Florida Keys; I'm looking for some swamp land to drive around in with all that xtra HP. lol

BTW - Speaking of too good to be true's; check this one out:

What do you fellas think of this genius product. People have actually posted their vid's on You-tube showing them pressing their accelerators, it all sounds normal to me. Found some of the site customer reviews interesting though.

I saw that about a year ago. What it purports to do is modify the torque mgmt which if it did would be a benefit as far as off the line feel. However the reason for torque mgmt in the first place was to protect the drivetrain. Helps w/ that 5/100 extended powertrain warranty.
