Default But....

It does not alter the fuel and timing tables for the increased boost. Plus you'll have to cut into the stock wiring harness. If a dealer sees a cut up wiring harness, kiss your warranty goodbye.

Default That's a really interesting product!

Easy to remove and revert to stock:

1. Yank the thing out.

2. Replace wiring harness with stock part.

It seems to have a more 'stock like' torque and HP curve, too.

Hmmm..it seems almost too easy. Why isn't anyone else doing this?

What would be the downside of not altering the fuel and timing tables?

Default What did you ask him?

Granted, I'm suspicious due to the cheesy LED box and suspiciously good dynoplots, but I'm curious as to what he had to say...or didn't have to say...
