Try to figure out how old it is. Their initial model actually LOST hp on dyno runs. I've tried the new one and saw no gains vs OEM. The VRP box had a hair more TQ down low (~2400revs) but that could have easily been inconsistency of air, etc.
Some say they have "seen" the gains but to me there are none if you don't gain a full 1/10th on the 1/4mile. Dynos can be setup to show whatever you like....

The key word here is 'upto'
so I guess even if it only added 5HP their advertising would be correct...
Heck - even if it lost power it'd still correct!
It'd be much better if they guaranteed a minimum improvement
But alas for tuners - big numbers sell stuff...

Ummm-just thinking here..But why can you not just remove your stock box-use a dremel tool to clear it out a bit of any obstructions..Cover it with that 3M ni-doc and be done with it?
If you add a few stickers on it as well that alone can add 2-3hp..Right?
