for that cheap, doubtful. it might help you out a little bit, but not 50hp. i have always heard bad things about chips, and that handheld tuners are much better and safer.

Pays for itself with gas savings
.. it's gonna require you to use PREMIUM high octane fuel if you use it [:@]Even ifit gets you slightly better fuel economy, the addedcost of the gas is gonna be FAR more than the cost of the chip.. over time

if it really did what they were claiming, dont you think that everyone would already have one? besides, a 50 hp/tq gain for $70? yeah right.

i call bs.

Well the first dead givaway is the (up to 50hp in some applications) that means maybe 5 for yours and 50 for a ferrari, highly unlikely in either car but the real answer is try it if you dare!

I havent really known of a chip that gives hp tq and gas milage it just dont really go in the same sentence!

Ok, this was just covered a few days ago, it is a scam, crap chips. You get what you pay for. A flash tuner, which is essentially a reprogrammable chip in a stock gt mustang is worth maybe up to 10 hp? Maybe more in a cobra or something that has something to tune. So 70 dollars for 50 hp is not going to happen. Sorry.

Its a scam, the dead giveaway is they are trying to make it sound like the chip is universal by saying gains can be different with different vehicles.
