For $399, all it seems to do is reprogram your computer to take the limit off the upper end. From what I have been reading it is useless for ordinary driving. It only seems to help at the upper REV area above 4500 to 6000.

These seem to be the only benefits:
1) increases rev limit from 6800 to 7000 (which would eventually burn out your engine.
2) remove the top speed limit of 128 but WHO DRIVES THIS FAST ANYWAY?
3) perhaps add a bit HP or Torque to the upper range of REVs 4500 to 6000, but the effect seems miniscule.

I decided against the reprogram.
For $400 the Cold air induction filters actually do work. I bought a knock off version and I love it.
