the stock ecu has its a/f settings there for a reason. 'Tricking' it to advance the timing when the air isn't actually any denser wont make it run any better.

basically it just messes with the stock tuning. It wont *break* anything, but it will make the car less healthy down the road.

as far as hp goes you should never go for something that uses the phrase "up to ___hp" the best companies use "at least ___hp" for more accuracy. cause i could sell something on ebay like a titanium radiator stay and say it adds up to 300hp but it will add only .0000000001hp cause of the weight savings
