    ok so after teo days of driving around with this baby in i can say i really really really am happy with the money spent on this product. i wasnt sure if this thing could really do what it said but after beating an 08 mustang that should prove to you the difference. this is all top end power. you know when you floor it on the freeway and ur already going about 70-90...you dont feel any power it just slowly accelerates... well with this you can feel it and my car now goes from 60-90 in about 3-4seconds. A LOT BETTER THAN IT USED TO! this is a great product and a must have. i am planning on saving up for the piggyback next. thanks Rob and RRM

    i got mine yesterday.. i have a 08 gts CVT (FED) im using 93 octane and im seeing nice improvments in top end as well.. low end still could use work, but im happy with the improvment in top end power.
    i have a custom cold air, custom axel back exhaust and denso iridium tipped plugs as far as other performance goes, pulley is in the mail hopefully the pulley will help a lil with my low end as well.

    but the timer is worth the money no doubt, your not going to see a huge difference with one mod on our cars so dont expect the timing box to just magically make your car a 13 sec car, but if you really put some money into it 8hp here and 9hp there adds up!!!

    im takin it down to Maryland International Raceway (MIR) once i get the pulley in..im anxious to see what kind of time ill get out of it. ill post up in a week or so to let you guys know what kind of results i get.
