Never seen it before. If you want more power at low rpm's it could be nice, otherwise not.......

That could be pretty useful in a truck. Offroading and towing both need a lot of low end torque.

If my setup only makes power to 4400 rpm that thing has to cut around around 3500 or so
So unless you can get down the track in frist gear your $hit out of luck

I wouldn't be surprised if he (soon after putting them in) realized that he had made a big mistake and now wants to get rid of them...
