Is there anybody here that can tell me if this actually works or if it is just another scam.

hmm

"In a completely stock 99' Dodge Neon sport, I gained ten horses and went from 34-37 wheel horsepower to 44-47 wheel horsepower (using a G-Tech Pro performance meter). I have also noted (when I drive responsibly) a gain in gas mileage. I also lost a full second off my Quarter-mile times; from 16.8 to 15.8 and probably could have done better with more time with the G-Tech."

thats better than some 305's lol with only 44-47hp! he must have his seat on top of the engine and 3 wheels weighing 900lbs

Hmmm, i'd believe there is some increase within this product. It certainly couldn't hurt. I wouldn't buy it however.
