It's almost cheap enough that it might be fun to buy and install, and then do a dyno, if you owned a shop or something.

Which would net the guy $30 and you would get??? It's not like you're going to out the guy or anything.


If you want to send $30 for nothing, please send it to me!

On the other hand, he's obviously priced it right, because you're considering it, even as a joke...

Uhhh... I wouldn't be trying to out the guy, and wouldn't care that he'd be getting 30 bucks. I would be doing it merely for my own interest.

And, if you actually look at what I wrote, it said "it's almost cheap enough..." :smile:

Ok, I've got a device (can I use that word?) that will increase your horsepower UP TO 30HP!! Just send me $20 and I'll send it to you, postage paid. This device is guaranteed to have at least TWO wires, and maybe even a light (but the light may not work on your car - we at HPrUS cannot be held responsible for faulty installation.) If you PM before midnight tonight, I'll discount it down to $19.99!! :smile: There is a limited supply, but I'll pretend that I have enough for everyone, just be sure to send CASH!

Not trying to bust on you, it's just that your statement demonstrates how some people make money. Make something cheap enough and people say, "What the heck". I've done it, too! I bought 'button bumps' for my miata for $3 - when the 'real things' were going for $15 or so. In the mail I got four $0.05 rubber bumpers. I'll bet he sold a lot of those...
