What is this and Is it good??

Was looking through my Ecklers Camaro brochure and saw this: http://www.ecklerscamaro.com/product...P2RCGMTDK660A1 . I've never heard of something like this but it sounds OK. Would it be beneficial at all, or is it kinda useless...what do you guys think?

$90 bucks to adjust the tps??? Someone has lost their mind. So no it is not worth it when you can buy a ohm meter for less the 10 bucks and set the tps that way.

Its high tech snake oil. Spend your money elsewhere.

Wow. That must be one intuitive tool (it should be for 90 bucks). It can presumably tell the difference between correct TPS voltage on either a fixed TPS or adjustable TPS. I'd like to know how they pulled that one off, or why they didn't recognize that there is a difference between the two. (DUH!)

You can get a really decent DVM for that much money, then use it for a lot more than TPS testing. I guess their original target audience (Corvette owners) has a large contingent that doesn't know the difference, either. We don't need to be helping expand that group.

JEGs carry something similar, although it claims it does even more, it supposedly boosts some crap whatever.
