maybe it's because I'm from oklahoma... and there are a lot of chevy's around here...

but proformance chips do exist.
however they usually cost a hella lot more than 5$
more like 80-120$

I would say it's bs... but I don't know for certain

the guy sends u some resistor that's worth about 10 cents each. it DOES do what he says, but it's not a whole new ECU.

Ok...he also claims it will lean out your fuel mix. let's just say it does...that's not a good thing. Running lean will likely damage your engine over an extended period, if not quickly. With extended abuse like that you're likely to melt a piston to your cylinder head. Brilliant.

Moving to newbie forum. We've got enough of these threads to choke an e-horse with the text.

Bob, you really need to learn the power of the Search function. We've covered not only true computer tuning possibilities in the past, we've also covered the scams as well.
