GFORCE Performance chip

Came across this web site touting their product, claiming better gas mileage, more power and lower emissions. Has anybody heard anything about this or maybe even have any experience? They claim it works with NOX, superchargers or any other modifications.

I wonder - scam or real?

I'd buy a lifetime supply of ShamWOW! before I ordered one of those.

Hey,

I like Sham WOWs when you can get them at the flea market for a buck a piece.

This however probably isn't worth the buck.

At least you can dry someting with a Sham WOW

It's just garbage that bends the intake temp signal.

Money back guarantee...
OP, you should try it. Slap it on a dyno and see if they're any gains.

Just go buy a resistor at radio shack and wire it into the maf, for less than $2. since that is all that your payin for. These things are dangerous too, you dont wanna run too lean and ruin your engine. PASS on the "Chip"

Back in the 60's when I had my shop, guys would come in and try to get me to sell their "special" carbureator that would get 75 to 100 miles per gallon. Things haven't changed much.
