It's a $.10 resistor in a box. it's an IAT mod. IAT mod basically fools the computer into thinking you are pulling in colder air than what you really which dumps a little more fuel into your engine. The gain is minimal.

If something's too good to be true......

True tuners that gain power are in the Hundreds of dollars. HP isn't free or cheap.

If it sounds too good to be true it probably isn't!
