Does anyone have knowledge or experience with this product? I got an email from them yesterday pushing it. IF??? It does what they claim that would be great, BUT PRICY. I'm not an electrition, but it seems like it would be a transformer like on a toy train set to send more power to the window motors.

We installed it on our 86 SS and timed the before and after. Before was just under 14 seconds and after was less than 5. I had a local customer install one in his T-type and his moonroof was even sped up.

There is a thread or two about this subject and a few guys have bought that product or one like it and were happy with it. I used relays to speed my windows up but I also use a module to put the windows up when I use the remote to lock the doors so the plug and play units would not work on my set up. It is cheaper to use relays but those plug and play units makes the job easier. If I added up the time I spend reseaching the progect and the time others in here helped me, plus the time and travel expense to buy the parts I needed if those plug and paly units worked on my set up I would have probably gone that route. From what I have read from others in other forums the Dixie post regarding the time trials sounds accurate to me....

I think the other threads are for the Window Turbo

It appears to be a very similar design to the Window Turbo and hooks up the same way and uses the factory circuit breaker.
Even though my Regal windows worked well for being original adding this unit did a big improvement on speed IMO.
Below is my install.
