Yes. It's a waste of money and I wouldn't put on your truck.

Far as feedback, I'd be willing to bet you that whomever bought it and put it on, IMAGINED they felt their car or truck respond better. Then again, I also bet 99% of them never heard what a dyno is.

There's a reason that SCT, Gryphon, Predator's all cost $375 to $400, it costs that much to develop and market an actual fuctional performance chip / tuner....

As far as feedback, a seller can register under several Ebay names, and "buy" their own product and give themselves positive feedback.

Happens all the time.
