Default G Force Chips

Owner of a 2009 coupe , six speed manual with 18,000.
Changed over to K&N air filter, now thinking of adding the G Force chip set to "improve gas mileage and horsepower ". Question, anyone in this community have experience with the addition of the G Force chip product?

Chips do not work in our cars. Don't waste your money. The computers in our cars have to be tuned.
If all you did was changed the filter....you do not need to do anything to the computer. Of course, a street tune will make your car run a lot better. Probably cost around $500.

Many performance minded shops can do a tune, or point you in the right direction. Any shop with a dyno can help you.
Ask on the forum. State where you are at and someone should be able to get you to a reliable tuner.
