Cool X2 Chip

Anyone have any experiences with the Power Performance Chip X2 from Engine Performance Chip? I want to add a chip and cold air intake, but don't have the cash for K&N or Gryphon right now. This company offers both chips and CAI kits. Thought they might be better than nothing until I can afford the top of the line kits that most of you are suggesting. I don't want to buy something without hearing from you guys about any past experiences.

The 2004+ F150 does not use a chip.

Thanks, another thing learned. Anyway, I went back to the website and it does say it is a chip, but can be tuned using a slider, so it sounds more like a tuner.
Anyway, here is the website address:http://www.engineperformancechip.com

I would stay far FAR away from any power adder that only cost $80. You would be asking for trouble there.......

That reminds me of that crap on ebay. Gain 150 hp and 10 mpg. You should save for a Gryphon IMO.

I had a feeling. I guess I will do as you suggest. Save my pennies until I can get a Gryphon. Should I do the intake before adding the tuner or tuner first?

Send a message via Yahoo to tarajerame
get the tuner tuned for the intake and then install them together


DO NOT install the intake before the tuner

That site is full of scams. Electric superchargers and other crap. Stay far away from them.
