I added a Bully Dog 50 ST Gas Tuner and contrary to others opinions, I do feel an increase in power but most importantly, it resolved the throttle lag issues I have experienced since I got the car. Just my 2 cents.

This one? A good custom Uprev tune costs the same or less than this thing. Why would you buy this?

No, they do not work.

Typically their function is to keep the car in open loop warm-up longer. resulting in higher injector duty cycles after warm-up; this may or may not have been useful for earlier model EFI cars, but for ours, definitely not worth it.

Get an Uprev tune or sprintbooster instead.

That looks like my 6th grade sconce project. Mine delivered a mild electric shock.

I like hot salsa with my super chips. Usually my super chips are made of blue corn tortilla. Baked not fried as well. Lower fat makes me go lots faster!
