Dont really understand what it does. It gives you more boost??? Why is it so cheap anyways, only like $50 or so.

If your truck makes to much booosht than your engine dosent like it and it defuels, the fooler makes the engine think its not, tricky tricky. I dident notice my truck doin it until I was over 50 pounds, I was pullin my boat and went to pass a semi and mashed it than the defueling started it was kindoff scary since there was a car coming.

Doesn't the Juice take care of the boost fooling function for you? If so, you don't need another box to do it.

Some boxes do fooling themselves and this would not be needed... however, I was under the impression that these are plug and play - no splicing required for newer trucks?? Or maybe it depends on the brand fooler you get? Anyone know for sure?
