Unichip

I saw one of these on last weeks episode of TRUCKS.
I checked out their site they say 30% more power.
Anyone here have one of these or heard anything about them?
The price sucks $782

never heard of them. i checked out the site and it doesnt seem right. how do they program the chip to work for a stock vehicle and a modified one? that doesnt make sense to me...

i like the power display thing that they have though. too bad the price is outrageous

30% ? Sounds like a lot! The tuners most of us use adds about 10%. I can't imagime another 20%. Would that not be hard on a stock engine? The crank, rods, etc.

I stand corrected.
For an 06 w/5.4 they say it adds up to 19 horsepower & 18 torque.
On there home page the preach up to 30% more power, but they don't tell ya what vehicle.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. Sounds as if it may not even be as effective as the Xcal3 or Gryphon, then.
