And how exactly is this possible:

"...And A Performance Map Specifically Dyno-Tuned To Your Vehicle And Its Components."

unless you bring your car in, they install the part (a piggyback essentially), and then dyno-tune YOUR car with their "chip" installed....

(not to mention that you can buy any other piggyback for half the price....)

I will buy this chip soon.. The car will be tuned on a dyno. Along with race cat, sportexhaust, pulleys and a Revi I'm hoping for 20-30 whp.
