Default Performance Chip Kit????

I posted this in the tech section and realized that maybe it should go here instead.
A buddy of mine asked me about a performance chip made by G Force for his C6. It list for $399 and is on sale for $69. Sounds sorta like BS to me. What say you?

Thanks,

Larry

Where does this aforementioned performance chip go? What does it hook to?

Sounds hokey to me.

I've seen an ad with the same pricing and they have a chip for any car.
If you click on any make you get the same hp increase regardless of make # of cylinders, its quite amusing..Ed

I e-mailed him and told him that it was BS.
I have a street tune on mine. I'd never heard about a chip for the newer cars.

Thanks,
