No Pain, No Pain!
I saw an article somewhere about the "mpg" increase devices. It was pretty clear that NONE of those worked at all. The point they made was that if they actually worked, do you think the Big 3 wouldn't have scooped them up for their own?
I am not sure about these "performance" chips. Seems "too good to be true" to me. Just my 2 cents...

ive looked into these, but cheesy photoshop ads and b.s. claims of 30 h.p. do not interest me. show me proven dyno sheets, then maybe for the $20 its on there right now for. but i'd rather put that money towards real power gains for now.

I do know a buddy of mine has had several different chips put int his '05 F350 Diesel, and that thing is a screamer!!! The chip definitely made a huge difference in fuel economy yet tons more power too..perhaps only because it is a diesel, I dunno...

Don't buy this turd all it does is fool you EFI control unit into thinking the engine is cold all of the time, something you can do with a .75 cent resistor. The claimed 30 HP increase is total crap, as is the increase in gas mileage. don't waste your money. This would be a fun outfit to screw over. Buy one of the "control modules" and open it up and I will bet all that is there is the .75 cent resister mentioned above potted in plastic to hide it. Publish the photo's online and watch the fireworks start.

yeah like transmaster said, its just a resistor. if you want 5 of the same thing for $.99 go get a pack of 25,000 ohm resistors from radio shack. but expect lower fuel mileage and fouled plugs and such. long story short, dont get it!
