His feedback rating may be 99.6%, but that means nothing really, as he has 7216 positive feedbacks.
Past 12 months... 50 Neutral, and 13 negative.
great delivery, but mod is no good for my car...way too rich, less power

Who honestly would be dumb enough to stick that kind of mod in their car anyway?

Love the claims; "Won't void your warranty" - Wanna bet? Just try and claim warranty and see what Ford and the other manufacturers have to say, not to mention the amount of damage you can cause your engine by running it too lean or too rich. I have seen engines that have had their mix too lean or rich, and the lean engines have actually holed pistons. This guy is a major BS artist preying on the stupid. Mechanical engineer? From where, bombay university? This loser needs to be shut down before someone gets injured (him).

Beware, don't try to short circuit your engine sensors to feed misinformation to your ECU, as I have witnessed some hapless boob do the same and he caused massive engine damage, resulting in a repair bill worth a couple thousand that he, not ford, had to pay for.
Then again, if you're dumb enough to try it then you probably deserve the resultant damage and problems associated with a snake oil salesman like this **** sucker.
