Default Gforce chips

Should have searched the Forum! I bought one of these last month, of course it does nothing so I just sent it back for a refund. It was offered on a thread so I thought it was ok, I guess I'm not the only one.

I know get a tune,Chuck Cow etc. Hope the mods throw these BOZOS off the forum.

Chips are for snaking on, not performance

Chips for these cars are bogus.

Just get one of these and be done with it. I run two and make the numbers in the sig.

Sometimes you find out the hard way. Hope the company you bought it from comes through and gives you your money back.
