What do you think guys? I searched for "tri-phase" and didn't find anything.

  • Power increases up to 20 hp and 15 lb/ft. torque.
  • Improved throttle response.
  • Quicker shifting (auto trans.).
  • OBD I, II, & III compatible.
  • Quick & easy installation.
All for $149.95!

Snake Oil? :rolleyes:

more info at www.nextlevelracing.com

i would have to hear some first hand experience before purchasing though; it doesn't appear to be vehicle specific.

Vehicle specific? Psh- all engines are the same. Especially their fuel mapping heat sensors. :rofl:

Who has some extra money? It's on Amazon.com- full refund if you dont like it right?

I would not dismiss this gadget off hand. I have an '01 Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R with a Power Commander made by DynoJet. These things allow you to adjust the engine maps without doing anything physically to the engine. An additional module on the newer Power Commanders allows you to add additional maps for specific applications (touring economy, racing or dragging for example). You can find user maps on the internet of have a custom map made for your specific bike. They also have other add-ons like auto shifters and so on which allow you to convert a bike into an "automatic" for hells on wheels drag racing. I knew a guy in Ill who had this set up on his Busa and it was freaking scary !
Select the "Products tab" and choose "Power Commander III USB" at the URL below:

I agree that products like this can work. Problem is a Land Rover engine is such a dinosaur that it's pointless.

Most posters on this forum dismiss any engine modification unless 100's have already done it.

For trial I installed a resistor that plays with the AIT sensor on my DII. The cost was like $6 and did have an affect on both mileage(slightly better)and acceleration(less gas pedal).

I removed it because the check engine light came on and the code was for the AIT sensor out of range. Also with further research I believed that the adaptive abilities of the engine management system would eventually learn its way around this resistor.

My BMW has upgraded software for the engine computer and really rocks. I know a few tuners who make performance chips but the DII immobilizer seems to be a breed of its own. Plus I don't want to experiment on my old worn out DII with 120K on the engine.

If I ever rebuild the motor or go for a 4.6 with a decent cam I would not hesitate to get someone to upgrade the ECM.
