G-Force programmer?

Alright I have been seeing these G-Force pregrammers advertised all around the internet and I cant find any solid proof that it even works? G-Force says gains of up to 60 HP and 4-7 MPG!!! Personally I think thats a bunch of bull, but in this case I wouldnt mind being proven wrong. Has anyone seen these or actually use one? I want to put a stop to this $70 chip that claims to be the best! Here's the link...

Have at it and good luck.

Or put another way, "There's one born every minute."

Do guys honestly think I would try this on my truck? I have an edge CS! I asked this to see if anyone has actually used this before to see what they actually got out of it. I have been asked constantly if this works and I have been seeing the ads everywhere.

All those things are is a resistor pack to fool the MAF. I can build one for about 25 cents.

Yeah, if you want one of these go to radio shack and get you a bunch of resistors. I should act like an ignorant customer and ask how it reprograms the pcm(they use the term ECU) through the IAT(they call the AIT) sensor.

I think it's funny that no matter what the vehicle it magically gains 60 horses reguardless of engine or attributes. They even have them for bugattis and such, but still, no change in increased power compared to a little honda...like someone would even notice the fake 60 horses on a bugatti.

Another way to see if they are fake is try to find their store, which in this case, is located somewhere near a rich subdivision and a shopping mall that does not have a building style to match their picture.

I do wonder how much it tricks the pcm on air temp though.

But, hey! Look at the savings over the MSRP! How could anyone afford to pass up a deal like that???
