G-Force Chip -- scam or real?

I have here dated April 05/2011 the real deal with this photo of what you get....

No doubt something good. I love it when people try to add up horsepower gains by the mod. It quickly becomes evident they know nothing about making power and have never been on a dyno. Poor saps.

I guess they expect current to arc between the SMD pads.

What a novel way to sell 10¢ worth of surplus chip. Tack on two different color wires, this must be the Deluxe version, and those two quik connects, SWEET.
I would love to read the electrical theory behind these wonderful little gonqulator units!
When I ran a search, I was amazed at the number of units for SALE,
when I ran a units sold search, I was stunned at the number of units SOLD!!!
SUCKERSSSSSSSSZZZ !!
So. I guess we will probably never hear from anyone who actually took food out of their childrens' mouths to purchase this unit! H'mmm would it then be too much to maybe ask for a review of the unit in question?

Almost right, the ECU is fooled to see lower temps. Higher temps cause retarded timing on the ignition maps under load nad the aim is to advance the timing. But the gain is marginal and on cold temperatures the engines mixture may become overrich.

I like the image . Did you lower this vehicle? What size rims?
