Default GForce Performance Chip for 89

This add looks really interesting, almost too good to be true. Has anyone out there installed one on an 89 and got positive results?

Now that's funny schitt right there. 5 miles to the gallon, 30 + ft lbs of torque, and a hot blonde to give you a blow job if you install this chip.

Snake oil is right, tuning on your own is right, there's a little left on the table in GM programming, but unless you've made mods it's really not worth it unless you want the fans to come on sooner.
