First off, German Engineering aint that good, I been there seen it, lol.
If you look at his comments, they all say good shipping and fast transactions. I saw one that said something about it working on a Benz, and that guy is full of **** because he dont own a Benz. There are some negative feedback comments from people with common sense on there. Trust us, it dont work Save up, and buy yourself a real configured PCM instead of a parasite type product.

its not the fact that the product dosent work....our cars are smarter, and figures out that that product is just a resistor and the PCM adjusts to bring everything back to normal

All this does is tricks your PCM into thinking it'* cold outside and therefore "optimizes timing". In reality it does little to nothing and cannot change commanded timing by more than 1 degree (and that'* on a hot day where you probably can't use the extra 1 degree of timing anyway). If you don't believe us or your curiosity is still got the best of you, buy an 8k resistor from Radio shack for .50 and try it out.

So, somewhere in the GM food chain, some lawyer or somebody said "The Bonneville will only put out so many horsies" and the engineers had to set up the PCM or whatever to comply. I'm sure the engineers are probably car guys, and given thier way we'd have all kinda extra power.....

I had no intent to try it out. If its too good to be true it is right? I just think its sad guys like this make money. **** I should start selling Italian Exotic Speed Chips you know?
I just fint the whole thing with electric superchargers, Gas tornado fuel savers and chips kinda sad.
