I'd guess that its just some simple circuitry to modify the MAF or IAT signal to try to lean out the stock ECU. I would expect the ECU to learn around it fairly quickly.

Yup - these things are huge in the Focus community - basically a resistor that changes the MAF voltage....and, as Ed suggested, the ECu learns around it in about 40 minutes or normal driving (at least on the Focus).

I guess. I dont know anyone who ACTUALLY used one on a regular basis. The people who were suffciently into racing their focus (which takes a special breed), already had enough parts on their cars and suffcinieltly modified ECUs to not need such a (dangerous) hack
