Default G force power chip

Anyone have any experiance with these? They advertise 60 hp and 4 to 7 mpg increase with it for $69. Sounds too good to be true.

60 bucks for 69 dollars... that says enough. The most respected corvette tuners in the Us are getting half of that on the dyno and thats impressive.

Anyone who believes this is pretty naive...This scam has been around for ages and available for most all cars....Let me guess...Ebay?. It "May" alter a sensor ouput like IAT and get you a (very) few HP but without the fueling and timing adjustments a real tune gives you, it's just plain dangerous for your engine...

I wonder if these guys have as much engine/performance/driveability/warranty experience as the guys at GM who designed the engine and the computer software.
