Preformance chip
Yeserday I saw an article on G-FORCE that claimed a gain in HP of up to 60. A 4-7 improvment in MPG. All this was guranteed. Has anyone had expirence with this product. Sound to good to be true.

Out of curiousity, why won't it work exactly? If it tricks the computer to think the IAT's are a lot lower and therefor less timing is being pulled, wouldn't that essentially generate more power?
60 hp is total bs but 5hp is very obtainable I think.
For the record I would never do this.

You are better off installing a true CAI which will help keep the IAT's down and lean out the pig rich WOT A/F ratio which will then add hp.

Lower the IAT temp's will not generate power, but prevent the ECM from pulling timing and reducing power. This starts to happen when the IAT temps reach 86*F. The idea of pulling timing is to prevent detonation in the warmer to hot climates.

The KR sensors better have their $hit together and pull the timing or you'll break something.
