Default The G-Box-Worth getting?10-12 HP gain

Just had a quick question about this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6764 It sounds like it would work great but does anyone have any experience with it?I know it will reduce gas mileage.

That is just silly.

Please do not waste your money.
Its just a signal enhancer probably. It takes the MAP signal and raises it a little. But please do not watse time or money.

Something electronic that you don't have to tune, usually doesn't work too terribly well

I am gonna say no. that 10-12 hp gain is just like the 30hp gain you get from installing a short ram intake, it only works if that is your bottleneck.

for example, the short ram intake:
if you have a high flo exhaust system, a p&p head, and manifold, etc. putting an intake on will net you about 20-30 hp, because you were using the stock airbox.

with this one, if you have a pretty high horse setup, and just the stock ecu, and no VAFC, this will help. if it were my $40 i would save it to get a VAFC

just my $.02

Sounds like a super deal!

Buy it, dyno test it , and if you gain that much horsepower I will add it to my turbo setup after intense scruitny of whats actually inside the box
