I like the claim that it improves the towing capability of the 'vette. I'll keep that in mind the next time I'm hauling hay.

I stick with my Tornado, thank you. A proven way to waste your money.

Why not find a way to add one to each cylinder? That's 600 Hp!!!

Great bang for the buck

Lets not forget it's handmade in the U.S.A. Sounds like one of Obama's job creation programs along the lines of green energy.

I'm excited! I just e-mailed them to see if I can use it with my Tornado and my inline fuel ionizer.

"This signal causes your factory Engine Control Module to reprogram itself for a more efficient air/fuel ratio and timing curve."

Damn those GM calibration engineers for giving up so much horsepower and fuel economy.

I love how the first thing that I think everyone's eyes glued to was the "improve your towing ability" (as was pointed out multiple times above)

People gotta know their audience
