GForce Performance?

[csrobb007]

I followed a link at the bottom of someones reply after seeing the advertised
"60 Horsepower", 7 ish MPG increase, yada, yada. from a chip for the 4runner...went to the website, sure enough, 69 bucks, and claims of gold.
A few questions of clarification...1. My 94 was listed as available...I wasn't aware that the eprom was replaceable?
2. Has anyone purchased one of these gems? Results?
3. 69 bucks for 60 HP and a mileage increase also? That's damn near 1 dollar per horsepower increase...a blower won't even give you that.

I wrote the company for more info, mabey some tech sheets or even results from a 4runner on a dyno, but thought I'd ask here...they are a sponsor right?
Anyone?...Bueller...Bueller?

It's a scam since you can't make more HP without adding fuel and more air and a naturally aspirated motr simply cannot see that type of permanent gain with no forced induction i.e. turbo or supercharger.

Be sure of it maybe it is a scam,some are existing in different areas.

You couldn't get anywhere close to those improvements with even a stand alone fuel injection system, much less a chip that only modifies your stock ECU fuel/timing maps.

The replies were kind of my thought...the link is here:

"$69 TOYOTA 4RUNNER Chip, 60 Horsepower, 7 MPG Savings Boost, Easy Installation, Custom ECU Chip. GFChips High Performance Chips Factory Direct "

I thought it sounded a little too good...I'm still asking for some solid results from the company, dyno sheets, anything specific to a vehicle (4Runner), and still waiting.

It's just a 10cent resistor. All it does is fool the computer into running rich.

If any of those things worked don't you think just about everybody on here would have one?
