performance chips

Does anyone know if the GForce chips really work? A friend told me about them and it sounds a little too good to be true.

GForce chips do absolutely nothing.

If my "friend" advised me to get that, we would no longer be friends.

I prefer jalapeno chips, performance chips go straight through me.
But really, you need a tune with Uprev or ECUtech software.

If anything those G-force adapters would only make the car run unsafely. Luckily in this day and age most popular applications we dont have to utilize "piggy-back" systems to tune vehicles. Going through the factory ECU will provide the best results on a street car. Standalone EMS systems are great but can take some significant tuning time to get everything dialed in to behave like a factory ECU would.

UpRev all the way!

Thanks,

Google "GForce chip". My research tells me it's worthless.

You should tell your friend to check out the Chinese performance chips, they will give you +50whp and raise your mpg by 7-10 mpg. All for around $100 as well
