Some units are very effective. The biggest gains are with diesel engines, though, where with the right setup, one can gain tremendous amounts of power and torque by simply plugging in a control unit and turning a knob on the dash. Many times, upwards of 100hp can be gained easily. Also, with diesels, a lot of times fuel economy will also be improved.

Gasoline engines don't normally provide these types of gains with such simple additions.
