Sounds kinda like bs and maybe the only thing i could see it doing is allowing your revs to be higher...or somehting like that....any thoughts?

All I see is a small black box with a red wire (+) and a balck wire (-),,,
What does it actually do ?
Maybe you should E-Mail them and ask them what it does exactly.
Looks like a waste of money to me.

i was rather expecting to find a diagram of the female anatomy after reading this title...but i guess something like this woulda been next...

as for the product...all i can say is: REAL DEAL! I daisy-chained 5 of those lil buggers onto my 97 probe and it added almost 100 WHP!! Obviously their a secret to everyone, including professional ricers who've only dreamed that sich a concoction actaully exists.

Buy stock in them. They're goin places.

If this thing actually worked, we'd all have them. Yes, it's BS. Especially for $13.99. What point would there be in spending money on a new exhaust, or filter, or turbo if you could spend $13.99 and get all the benefits?

I believe I get better results using pyramids. I glued one to the top of the PCM.

I especially love the Q & A section.

Yes it works with all sub models of the same car, regardless of them having different engines with different rev ranges, number of pistons, valves, ect.

man i should start selling **** like this on ebay and become rich. suckers like this thread starter are obviously gullible enough to think it works. plus, the ebay seller has like 3000+ feelbacks, so if you do the math....3000 x $25 = $75000!!!

Splice an LED resistor into any random cable from your ECU's wiring harness and you will get the same result (that is basically what that "module" is a resistor with some cables attached to it covered by a plastic casing and some Ricing stickers. as with most things ebay...
if it sounds too good to be true...


buyer beware

Also take the time to actuallyread the feedback comments and not just look at the number.
Its extremly easy to create several accounts, sell stuff to yourself from one account to the other, and artificially jack your feedback score up.

Beware of those that have large scores but most of the comments are A+ or some nondescript (and possibly automated) message like that, also repeat identical feedbacks might be a clue that something is up.

keep in mind there are honest ebay sellers out there too.

Freom what I've been able to learn, the reason why Mazda stopped at 9,000 is because much higher causes distortion and premature wear of the ring gear on the rotor. Certainly Mazda did their homewok on the Renesis and I have to beleiev if they felt higher RPM was tolerable they would have made it so.

I believe most of these things work by adding extra resistance to the MAF sensor circuit. It thinks the air is cooler (i.e. more dense), so adds more fuel, thereby enriching the mixture and you get more power. Given how rich the 8 runs already (and how complex the ECU is anyway), I wouldn't want to **** with it at all.
