Question VR Velocity Stacks?

Has anybody tried out a VR Velocity Stack from VaraRam Industries? http://www.vararam.com/

They state it added 22+ ft/lbs to the rear wheels on a stock 04 5.3 Silverado (with Dyno Graph on the site). The cost with shipping is about $60, a whole lot cheaper than messing with a cold air kit.

Comments before I buy?

Most people are saying its not worth it and no way you'll see 22lbft. Its bogus and not a whole lot of people are impressed. Do some searching for what people have to say.

I like what they say about GM's "poorly designed throttle bodies". Has anyone seen a Ford tb lately? Don't waste your money.

Look at the air fuel ratio on that dyno graph. Its WAY lean on the non vr run. Like they somehow kept it out of power enrichment mode to get lower numbers.
I wouldn't waste my money.
