    LOL
    YES I bought one as a joke to compair to my buddies PC set up
    holy cr*p batman it does work, gives you about the same as PC about 5-10 hp
    not hard to set up and smooths out the throttle issuses same as PC - power commander is a bit better if you send the bucks to do a dyno map but for the cost of the "chip" you really cant beat it.
    my bike stock will power wheelie now - never did before.
    just note the adjustment claim is BS - you can turn the screw but does nothing.

    Think about it ... if a $30 "Chip" could actually increase horsepower and torque by 15% each would people really be spending hundreds (or thousands!) to get a 5% boost?

    Where's that snake oil smilie?

    Good point. Or this could be the best kept secret like these products are:

    http://www.magnumtuning.com/en/product_text/twist-air_performance_intake-gas_fuel_saver_spiral

    Jet-Air E-Magnetic Cold Air Intake up to OD 2 1/2" Intake #672 at MAGNUM Tuning: Performance chip & part

    All the cars guys know how they work. It's becomes better when combined with Slick 50. I'd like to see the testing done on both of these. The claims they make on jet-air are just impossible. I can tell someone doesn't anything about flow testing.

    Good salesmanship though.

    I was more looking to tie in to the longstanding "Slick 50" joke.

    And why wouldn't the manufacturers install it at the factory?:rolleyes:
    Simple, cheap, increases power, and an extra $15-20 per bike. You would certainly see it on all the 600's and the liter bikes if it was all that they said it would be.
