gotta agree with Amby on this one. That product looks like *****. It's pretty much one step up from an ebay chip.
Anyone can build a nice website, put together some graphs and talk up a product. But without conclusive results and data it's a waste of time. Any products that has the claim of making your car "feel" faster is going to be a waste of space.

For what this product actually is, i wouldn't pay that amount for it.

They even admit that the car doesn't increase performance, why spend 300$ on it?

i know dudes who HATE they bought CVT. They're looking for anything at this point. some would read that and disagree, some would know that's the truth.

Looking for anything can you get you in trouble though, that's why people why products like the Tornado or the Ebay speed chips. The 300$ would be better spent elsewhere. Hell, if all you want is to feel faster, buy the loudest exhaust possible.

for $300 you could get a part that actually makes the car go faster, instead of making it feel faster.

I have just about every part available for the Lancer just short of a Turbo. Like I said before, there's a difference between wasting money and trying the product out. And again, I trust Evosouls opinion on this and going to go for it, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. No reason to act like children over the fact that 1 or 2 people want to try out a product. Making a big deal about this pointless on so many levels.

same thing as saying a pully is a waste of money, u dont gain any pwer but you get faster throttle response.

so yes this product wont give you any hp gains, but technically speaking it does make you go faster,quicker (and give quicker response as if you were to just slam your foot on the pedal) so you are getting an increase in performance

is it worth the 300? maybe not but is it worth putting on your car if you have the money? i definitely think so.

well put, if you got the dough then ok dont worry about it. i dont see why people are so obsessed with trying to prevent people from spending their money. Just let people do what they want to there are some people out there bored with $ and time.

if it sucks just resell it then post on here that it sucks after the sale is complete

Exactly, that's the point of having a forum.

If it doesn't work, by definition you are wasting money. The people who make the product even say it doesn't increase performance.

A pulley is different, a pulley reduces the rotating mass of an engine, this just increase the signal to the ECU so you can get the effect of pinning the throttle without pinning the throttle.

I don't know what your issue is, but have you tested it to come up with this conclusion? How about this, Amby, I try it and post here if it works or not? would that be acceptable? or are you going to keep nagging about the product after Evosoul tried to educate you on it?

Hey man, I hate to be an *** about this but you're getting on my last nerve here.

And that's you're definition which is very let's say *** backwards. If I don't/can't get my cash back then that's a waste of money. Hell, it's my cash why should you be so concerned on what others do? I can see trying to give advice, but coming out of the blue and just ******* it before actually listening is extremely childish.
