Ford Performance Chip
I have been in Durango, CO the past 6 weeks. Got way better mileage while down there. From 15.5ish to 18.1. Big difference from city driving.
I ordered the stage 3 by Chip Your Car performance chip. They claim it will gain 4-6 mpg. Anyone know how close this is?
Thought the price was good and advertise a 60 hp gain. Will have see. Would like input.

I have 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 Lariat.
Let me restate what I said earlier. They are performance chips for Ford products. They are by by Chip Your Car.

5 Star Tuning is the most recommended tuning company here. You might want to check with them.

Oh dear God! Another take on the old ECT fooler. All that thing does is keep the truck in closed loop mode. Great way to run rich and risk torching the turbos and probably a plethora of other side effects.

MPT is another good one. Can't see a gain in mileage, but has much more go.
A company throwing a blanket statement out like that, always raises my suspension. There's more variables involved, each engine can produce different gains, or loss. MPT claims I've got just short of 450RWP by their dyno, it might not, it could have, or it might be more. Only proof would be putting your own truck on the same make dyno, and have the same guy there doing it.
A programmer is more versatile than a chip as well.

I have a resistor I will sell you for $99. It will increase your HP by 50 and your fuel economy by 4.

Here is a follow up on this "chip." You guys were right, I gained nothing. Did not work in any way, shape or form. Nothing. Do not buy this "chip." It is all a ruse! Pretty disappointing.
Thanks guy for the input.
