Default add UP to an Extra 35hp & 5mpg for $69

Guys i see on Amazon that Innovative Performance claims that their chip/power programmer that takes 10 mins. to install can do this for the RCF! HOW can companies like this make these kind of WILD statements without being able to Back it up with Proof.

Because some individuals are impulse buyers and will foolishly hit the 'Buy It Now' button with little to no research.

Yep & there's No telling How Many they've sold. I know the right tune can make some vehicles Really come to life, but i didn't think that you could even tune an RCF? I learned a Long Time ago that HP & Torque Don't come very Cheap!

Reminds me of a little gadget that was out back in the carburetor days, I think it was called Turbonator, that sat on top of the carb and was supposed to act as a little turbo charger, increasing gas mileage and power. Then there were always claims about 100 mpg carburetors you could buy, etc. More modern version of the same BS.

In fact it's still out there, but I think it used to be only $19.99
