Is that a new brand of potato chips because if you're asking for one for your car it doesn't exist. You can get a tune though via your ECM.

Where would you put that "chip"? It would probably fit in the console but I don't think it will help with the performance of the car.
Get a "tune" instead.

Ok, how about this answer.
Our cars don't use chips. They use ECMs and the ECM is programmable. There, is that more succinct?

naw, always ask. you learn and life goes on.
The G Force "chip" is a resistor that "spoofs" the intake air temperature sensor to tell the ECU that the intake air is colder than it actually is, and results in a few more degrees of ignition advance. Save your money.
