Default Performance Chips

Has anyone had experience with G-FORCE performance chips?

Thanks

This is weird as I was also browsing today at websites of some manufacturers selling chips that splice between the MAF fitting and the ECU. These were consistently about $70 and even though I could specify that the application was for Jaguar XKR, the FAQ's for both manufacturers specifically stated that the chips were for normally aspirated engines (no turbos or superchargers).

I suspect these are snake oil although they claim to alter the fuel curves, etc.

SNAKE OIL !
All they do is fool your ECU into thinking the incoming air is colder than it really is, is it good for your engine long term? I think not!
BTW - Did I mention they're charging you 70 bucks for a resistor that isn't even worth 70 cents?

I have tried these chips and they are worthless.
