If their claims were true everyone with a C5 would have one. Instead they spend $ 1500 for nice long tube headers that add 20 HP, $ 300 for a CAI that may give 10 HP, etc. What do you think works?

This G-force chip comes up almost monthly by new members looking for power mods. I wish there was a way to arrest these criminals for their white collar crimes. Absolute garbage. Don't waste your money.

Since we are bashing the miracle snake oil products ...get a K&N air filter, but make sure you put the K&N bumper sticker in the window! Looks so classy and also everyone will know you are a serious performance nut because you just dropped $23 bills on a premium air filter.

I only bought the turbinator because they threw in a six pack of wrist magnets and a juicer!

And here I was expecting to see some type of snack chip that would make girlfriends perform better.

What a letdown...
