No, and its definitely a scam. First off our engines do not have "chips" in them any more, that went away in the mid 90's when OBD 1.5 started coming on board, and then completely with OBDIISloViper said:Anybody heard anything about this before

I know, they are all scam. Possible exception for Jet Chip and Hypertech.NoobNox said:SuperMat64- the G-force chip most likely is a scam, but you also have to be careful of these so-called "review" websites that often own or are at least affiliated with the products that are reviewed most highly. For example, as a test I clicked on the "SLR Motorsports" ad banner on that site (their #2 rated chip btw) and saw that they offered a "chip" for the 2005-2010 Equinox...but make no distinction between the 3.4 V6, 3.6 V6, 3.0 V6 and the 2.4 I4 that could be in a Chevy Equinox of that range of years. are we supposed to believe there is some magic universal chip that will provide horsepower/mileage gains for each of those engines?
I'm only speaking for the Ford vehicles I've had, but I had a 2001 F350 diesel that you could "chip". It also worked on F150 trucks as well and I know my current 2003 F150 could have a chip installed. On the computer, there is a slot on the backside that you clean the epoxy coating off to expose the contacts and slide a chip in. This is what's called a "flip chip", where you can change the tunes on the fly. All you had to do was have your foot off the fuel pedal before changing the tunes. I don't know about cars, but in trucks there are still "chips". Oh, these vehicles still had the OBDII ports as you could also use programmers if you didn't want to do the chip route.grometsc said:No, and its definitely a scam.

I have heard of trifecta tuning though, and they do have ecm reprograms available as I have been trying it out. LF1 has responded better than expected to being re-tuned, I'll have a video of before/after eventually once we the tranny program has been worked out somemore.
Edit...just read it even more lol....Its just a IAT temp resistor change that iwll do nothing but make the car think its colder outside than it is, which will keep the car running rich (not good for DI, they like LEAN)
And to top it off...the V6 I know doesnt use a IAT as they claim, we use a TMAP attached to the airbox
So yea....SCAM
