I had a quick look on the site.
They use a device that plugs into the OBD port and claims a HP gain of 20, 40 or 60 depending on which version you buy.
To me, those are huge gains, maybe too good to be true.
I don't know any tuner who has been able to remap a G37 to gain 40-60 HP... Maybe 20, but they actually re-program the ECU.
They say:
When the chip is plugged into your car’s OBD2 port, it receives real-time data through the OBD2 connection allowing the chip to study your driving habits and modify signals sent to your vehicles ECU. By safely optimizing functions such as the ignition timing, air to fuel ratios, transmission shifting and fuel maps, the chip module provides the ultimate horsepower, torque and mileage gains.
I have done a lot of G37 ECU research / hacking.
I don't think the above is technically possible. Most of the "signals" are wired directly to the ECU and are not accessible via the OBD port (CAN Bus)

60 hp by plugging this magical amulet into your OBD port? 
Nope. This is a scam.

Work with what? Are you trying to improve your acceleration for something specific? yes doing that diff swap will help and so will the tires. After that just get a ECUtek tune with Seb at specialty-z

For drag/street racing. Doing this swap to get what I can before I do a tune. Going to filters and Intakes next Then exhaust. A tune will be the last thing I do.
