    I'm not sure.

    Send your cash to me.

    I will purchase it and then report back on my findings.

    Deal?

    The best part of this ad is found by scrolling 2/3 the way to the bottom where the FAQs are. The blue and red fonts on the black background make a very interesting 3-D effect.

    So, don't say this product has no use at all.

    I just noticed this 3-D effect only occurs while wearing my glasses (progressive lens). It does not occur without glasses, or with my reading glasses.

    This looks totally legit. I think every Prius owner that can run their ICE at 6000 RPM and still notice a 5-10% difference in ICE HP output should get one right away. Don't forget, all it takes to keep it from voiding the warranty is to uninstall it prior to every service visit. :rolleyes:

    Bunk.

    Think about it this way, motorsport enthusiasts pay thousands and thousands of dollars to gain just a few horsepower, yet this guy claims to have a device which will boost your horsepower by 20% for $35?

    Besides, all this thing does is advance the timing on your engine. No rocket science there. People have been doing it for years, and there are some serious consequences for advancing it too far. At the least, you will put yourself in real jeorpardy of having Toyota refusing to pay for any warranty claims on any of the related systems that would be impacted by the installation of this device.
