I'm not sure how it works on the 3rd Gen 4Runners, but I'm going to assume that it works about the same as it does on most other vehicles. It's an absolute scam. Recent dyno tests on a '99 Mustang Cobra and on an '03 Mustang GT show a decrease in horsepower of about 4-5hp at the wheels. They also showed a marked decrease in fuel economy.

Basically, my best guess is that the product is total crap...

That thing gave me as much power as my TRD sticker. And everybody knows those are good for at least 25 hp.
