Has anyone ever used or heard of Gforce performance chips?

I've heard that chips don't really do much.

95 has a PCM that must be reflashed, it doesn't have a chip to insert.
No these mass marketed chips do nothing for you, they may reset fan temps but that is not worth the expense.
You need serious mods to require a reprogramming.

Years ago I had a Honda motorcycle that I modified. It seemed like whatever I did made it go slower. I finally realized that the engineers did a pretty good job of making it as fast as possible right out of the box.
I never touched my '86 for years because I was racing in a pure stock class and didn't want to get bumped up into a higher class where there was a lot more competition. If you didn't mod your car to the max the rules allowed you weren't competitive. Now that it's my daily driver I leave it alone because I see no point in spending a lot of money for little gain. It's fine just the way it is.
I went to a car show yesterday and saw a brand new C7 that had a checkered flag license frame. Some people just have this weird urge to "improve" their cars. It's a sickness that can't be cured... ;-)
