It looks too good to be true! As anyone else tried it?

Thanks,

If it sounds too good to be true...

Notice that they have an application for almost every car on the planet.

You might want to google "gforcechips scam", and read this:

I haven't tried it but if it looks like a scam, and smells like a scam, it most likely is a scam.

Be nice if true, but I'm not in a testing mood

If it was really this simple and cheap, the OEM's would have already done it to meet Gov MPG standards, emmission standards and sales benefits.
I do not know if this is the same item but I saw a write-up some time back that most of these widgets just introduce a SMALL advance in timing or other simplistic change to fool your computer into making small changes to engine parameters.

If everybody could just remember this quote every time they saw one of these cheap add-on gadgets, you can save time and money. These scam artists have been around for decades, and I bought my share when I was in my teens and 20s - none of them worked. Oh yeah, one kinda did. It was "rings in a can". It was to stop a worn out engine from burning oil and making a smoke cloud. It was some thick goop you added to the oil so it would not get past the rings into the combustion chamber. It did stop the oil burning somewhat, but the car was a b---h to get started in cold weather.

I feel this is a rip-off. I've been driving my Bird for over 9 years now with 80,000+ miles on the clock. I don't need any improvement from what Ford had put in it from the factory with no major problems. I'm a very happy owner.

WAIT UNTIL YOU RACE THAT INCA GOLD, YOU MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR HELP THEN.

Ron, I've said before.................BRING IT ON!!!!!! If my 02 with 30 less HP even comes close with it's high mileage I would be a happy camper. And to add, I still have all my orginal cops.

Re: GForce Performance Chip Kit for Tbird

Speaking for me and me alone, if I wanted a car that was as quick as, and sounded like, a Mustang GT, I would have bought a Mustang GT.

One complaint that I do not have about my 2003 is the way it accelerates, shifts, and sounds.

Again, that's how I feel.

Anyone who goes further with their cars, I really wish you the best.

I also feel that if it were that simple to increase performance, mileage, etc, without a downside, the FORD trained engineers would have done it.

Why wouldn't they?

I've got a HS friend that is almost 70 yrs old, and he still buys some of this stuff like 20" tires and rims FOR A NEW LEASED VEHICLE AFTER HE HAS SIGNED THE LEASE AND TAKEN DELIVERY OF THE CAR, fake scoops & hood scoops that lead to nowhere (at least the ones on our Tbirds came OEM), ground effects, add-on spoilers including front air dams that are so low he has to come up my driveway sideways, turbo badges for his Mustang GT, and one that is not listed here - fake Nascar stick-on hood tie down pins.
