Not only is it crap, it's expensive crap. A canned tune usually costs about that much and will give you better gains.

I'm inclinded to agree with the crap rating. First, even if it does what it says, it's a factory pre-tuned setup. For that money, you can just have a company re-tune your factory PCM (companies that people on this very forum have experience with, such as Intense or ZZP).

You are better off going and getting a Street Tune or a Dyno Tune from your local (or not so local lol) performance shop..

I have a Custom Dyno Tune where lots of things were changed and I have much better performance and fuel efficiency than I did before.

x10 on the above- why try a new gimmick when you could have a method of pcm tuning that is proven to work for about the same price or less (ie canned pcm tune from vendor)?

I got one for my car and my moms car and they were packaged exactly the same, everything was the same, part#, barcode label was the same, I mean everything! My mom drives a 2002 Kia **** thing and I have a 2006 Monte Carlo.... all serous aside, total wast of money, DO NOT BUY IT
