And how exactly is this possible:

"...And A Performance Map Specifically Dyno-Tuned To Your Vehicle And Its Components."



unless you bring your car in, they install the part (a piggyback essentially), and then dyno-tune YOUR car with their "chip" installed....

(not to mention that you can buy any other piggyback for half the price....)

No, this one isn't bullshit. It accually has working components in it that will improve your HP. Probably simular to the Camzoomer computer. It just dosn't improve the performance that much. Expect 10 HP for the price after tuning.
