so you claim you can get 60+rwhp out of a bone stock tahoe with just your "chip"???

i am willing to purchae one of these and send it to one of the top tuners if one of them wants to step up and give us the truth on these things.

Let me say if you buy one, please try it first and post here with your results before just sending it off. Otherwise whoever you send it to will just say that there wasn't any results and just start using my process themselves. You can't trust everyone, the world is full of crooks.

OK, I'll let everyone in on my secret. And that is....that it's not me who sells these things. It's been fun playing along, but you really shouldn't buy this crap.

Oh I would love to get 75 more horsepower just from your chip!!! I guess if I already have some mods that I could expect to get more than just 75HP right? Like maybe a 100 more with the mods in my sig? How much is it for your product?

Maybe I should stop posting this before someone really thinks I'm serious

Jon can you sell one of these to Smartass6885 so he can get the results verified, maybe you should send him one free, if it does 25% of what you say it will sell itself on here and your business will skyrocket. How much is the product, link to ebay?

Once I get around to installing a vortex generator I should be looking at 45+/30+. I haven't dynoed yet but I expect to be in ~380rwhp with only a catback and a lid and my products of course.

Maybe you're so up in arms because you lost business due to my product? I can guarantee that my chips work better than your tuning. That's probably the real reason for the inquiry, huh? Nice try.

Jon

Why are there users in YOU FEEDBACK that say it's just a resistor then? The only place you could put it would be ECT, but that could screw up the world..

I guess we will see what they REALLY are here shortly


...and I'm not kidding about messaging everyone on your feedback list and telling them that you are a fraud. I didn't ask for details, you could have posted concept if it was legitimate.

I think anyone would have to be naive to believe that GM basically "forgot" a $1 part that doubles fuel mileage and adds as much HP as boltons and a different cam... That would include you Jon, if you are naive enough to think that people here will buy your foolishness.

It's eBay; I bought it, now you have to send it, that's how it works.

see latest comment... it's a farce though kinda funny if it resulted in extra sales... if even to prove it false (we all know it's just a resistor... even SLP tried to sell this in a fancy package)

I saw it, it's back-tracking though. Kinda like when you see something is gonna go up in your face and you try to run away.... and whether you realize it or not you were still too close

So you bought the module Frost? Maybe you can test it and come up with some empirical data to get this guy shut down for selling a false product, there is no way that should be legal! I mean if something like 5 more MPG or a few horsepower was advertised that would be different but come on, 75 hp and 20 mpg? At least leave him bad feedback lol

HA, I didn't even look at the feedbacks. I'm glad you spent the money on one.
