Default Performance Chips

Anyone tried these performance chips from gfchips.com.? They have the convincing line of probably B.S. like all the others but also have a MB return policy. Their theory seems to make sense but then I'm no performance expert. Any advice before I fall for this?

It's a scam, don't buy it.

Get your vehicle dyno tuned by a reputable shop instead, you actually get to see real numbers as well.

If it does anything it would add timing and trick your IAT sensor into thinking the air is colder than what it actually is....a scam and dangerous. Find a local, reputable place and have it dyno tuned or buy some real mods (lid, headers, etc.)

instructions are included when you buy with tech support if needed. Install in 15 min. I think it,s a scam as the 2 previous replys claim.

Our cars ecms dont even use chips anymore...if your talking about a iat plug in deal, all it does is trick the iat into thinking the temps are different and the ecm adds timing. Get a real tune and never look back.
