They claim that you turn the ignition on, but not that engine, and then push down on the pedal slowly to where it takes 5 seconds, and then 5 seconds back up.

Then turn the engine on and apparently the world is magical at that point.

Turn key "ON", dont start.
Push down slow for 5 sec.
Let off slow for 5 sec.
Wait for 5 sec.
RUN LIKE HELL !!

I did it,{no tune}and could tell a little diffrence,
not enough to go Z06 hunting !!!!

Actually it recalibrates the TB servo motor. Apparently the ECU remebers driving habits and stores the info,by doing this simple procedure you reset the ECU?
