Default Gorrila Chipz

Any one heard of someone on ebay selling Gorrila chipz. the guy claims 30 to 60 hp gains for $39.95. Sounds like a RIP OFF to me.

I would look at them twice. Any chip you buy....be it Hypertech, Gorrila, or what ever, is junk and you will be glad you remove it. The only way to really improve performance with a chip... is to datalog your cars engine/sensor function and have someone trustworthy locally burn new info into it or send it to one of the fellow forum tuners. Check out pcmforless.
