Not sure if this product would help those of you with intake issues....or if it is a piece of junk? Anybody with experience or insight...let us know.

I believe it gives fine tuning adjustability to a rich or lean reading for the maf....not to much info in the description. Not sure if you need the diablo programmer to use this.

I like how the market price is $171.06 then they say their price is $171.05 saying you get a 16% discount saving you 1 cent isnt 16% of $171 ---> $27?

I dont think I would buy that from them (even if it worked) since they cant do simple math! Ruh-Tards!

It looks to me that it simply allows to not have to replace the MAF for more flow, ie supercharged. It would have to be calibrated using a wideband anyways since the O2 sensors control the air/fuel ratio and the trims are adjusted from there. Looks like a waste for a stock truck IMO.

looks like its for a high horsepower motor where you would be needing to have all the control you can over the MAF Sensor. I dont think it it for our application.

I dunno about diablo but granatelli is who I would steer clear of.

Any company that will claim 27rwhp gains from spark plug wires is wrong. Even the video they provided showed them not going WOT on the first pull and then WOT with the wires.

Diablo I haven't heard anything in inherently bad about.

I'm not buying it. I just came across it and thought I would throw it out there to anybody with more knowledge of this stuff....
