Exclamation GForce chips?

The site says gain up to 60 HP and 4-7 mpg.
The chip for my 09 f150 5.4 v8 is only $69.
Anybody know anything about these chips?

Looks sketchy, not much info on their website. Seems like a scam.

Basically, it's a resistor for some air/fuel sensor. Its 99 cents worth of resistors from radio shack, dressed up in 39 cents worth of plastic, yet charge $69 for every make/model. It essentially tricks the computer to give less fuel. You have to solder it in to your PCM/computer which obviously voids your warranty. I was going to get one for my older Nissan Maxima, but it seemed to good to be true.
