No.
It's just a scam.
Don't waste your money.
There is no such thing as "Cheap Horsepower".
That add had so many spelling and grammar mistakes, that I would seriously doubt anything stated there.
"Professional Sellers" are usually a little better at making sure their adds don't look like they were written by fourth graders.

in theory, wouldn't it work though, at least the idea of the product? From what I read, the product basically "tricks" certain sensors into thinking things are different than what they are, causing the ecu to adjust to suit the change, thus increasing horsepower, in theory. I read somewhere on the internet that if you make a special kind of fuse relay and hook it up to your MAF sensor (I read this for my Ford Ranger), that it will trick the sensor into thinking that the air coming into the intake is colder, therefore more dense, so therefore the ecu adjusts itself to make up for the "colder air", increases the A/F ratio, thus making more horsepower, in theory.

So, in theory, would the product actually work, if it were made correctly?

If our cars had an intelligent or adaptive ECU, that product might make a tiny difference. Unfortunatly, it doesn't. We are dealing with an ancient/archaic computer in our cars that can not adapt to changing environments. Most of it's functionality consists of on/off scenarios. It can't control the parameters needed to make a noticeable performance increase. On a newer car with a more sophisticated ECU, it's a different story.

oh, okay. So in theory, the product would work, if the car had an adaptive ecu.

the product may work but will not work well for anything. yes you are pushing more fule into your engine but you are not geting the air or spark you need to burn that fule, the same can be acomplished with bigger injectors. I dose no good to "trick" your car or yourself, the only horse power you can get from your computer system is remaping your computer in relation to the modifications you have done.
If you want to rice your car then ya this may be a good product. But if you want a well built car then stay away from so called performance chips, and look into performance computers.
