    haha, definitely something not to buy. if it malfunctions, it can blow your engine....which is true with any chip, but the chance of this one malfunctioning is probably greater

    I can think of better reasons not to buy it.

    Someone should try it and see if it works. haha

    I'm willing to bet that someone got a hold of another chip and reproduced it.

    Re: Uhhhh what the heck is this?

    the listing speaks for itself... black smoke from the back of a car = normal apparently

    Since 1989, fuel injection has been in every vehicle produced. (<-which is a lie) Fuel injected vehicles run on an ECU or PCM board which are basically fancy terms for a computer. We have studied and figured out that every vehicle from the car manufacturers runs rich from the factory. Your vehicle's performance relies on an Air/Fuel ratio in order to function properly. The air/fuel ratio runs at 3 different levels: Rich, Stoich and Lean. The vehicle manufacturers try to produce as much power as possible without sacrificing engine reliability, better gas mileage and the mileage between tune-ups. Our job was to figure out how to produce more power and give better gas mileage at the same time. When your vehicle is running rich you are wasting gas. For example: If you have ever seen a person accelerating quickly you may have seen black smoke coming from the back of the car, this is NORMAL. The black smoke is unburnt fuel coming out in a liquid/gas form. This unburnt fuel should stay in your gas tank. There is no need to throw money out the window. When your air/fuel ratio runs at stoichometric levels you are getting optimum performance along with better gas mileage. GT+ TunerBox will allow your vehicle to run at stoichometric levels at all times! You will not need to use premium fuel although it does help our chip work even better!
    what a load of horse shit

    Re: Uhhhh what the heck is this?

    most of these "chips" are resistors that cost about 5 cents. Same affect would be had from running on an open loop.

    Re: Uhhhh what the heck is this?

    any product sold with "scotch locks" cannot be a quality, or in this case a legit part.

    people buy that shit b/c they think it will work. I don't even want to begin to explain why that is stupid. MSD and "pulse plugs" work too, at least in advertisements they do


    EDIT: I found this funny. He said "bower band" not power band. ... Idiot
