The programmer is a device for retuning the PCM of the engine, and IT
WORKS. My brother put one on his 150. He has setting for economy and
for power. His economy stting makes the engine both a lot more
tractable, and a lot easier on fuel. It pulls his ATV trailer a lot
better, gets off the line a lot smoother, and gets a lot better
mileage. It ALMOST passes the E test as well. Can't remember the
numbers, but it is almost dead clean on all but one if I remember
correctly.

On the power setting, which DEMANDS hightest, it goes like STINK and
drinks like a fish.

I'm guessing an automatic transmission is necessary? Could it
work in a 1992 standard transmission?

1996 or newer only - it works on the OBD2 system. Standard or
automatic - the automatic reprograms the tranny as well.
