instant 50 HP...anyone heard of this?

From a 'friend' i don't trust

Under the right rear interior trim, there's a little silver box that says "IMFA." There are three small holes with little phillips head "adjustment knobs." Turn the orange knob all the way to the left, turn the green one to the right, and turn the yellow one to the right. Extra 50 HP instantly. It's for "emissions control." It's a CAN Emissions Module on the GM LAN system. I don't work for GM anymore so now I can tell you tricks. The module "de-tunes" the motor so it'll pass EPA.

I would think that it is B.S. I just can't see something that easy going undiscovered this long. Someone try it and see what happens, you can always turn it back.

Damn it, I turned the orange knob all the way to the right (instead of left) and my car turned into a robot, killed my dog, and flew off.

Be careful.

I can't believe more people haven't found this yet. I discovered it almost immediately.

Now the Real hp increase is found by pressing the tiny blue button on the backside of the rearview mirror. That makes the 50 hp you picked up on the silver box seem like nothing
