Chips?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MEWA:IT
I found a chip on E-bay and was wondering how much power I can acually expect? Has anyone here had experience with this chip? My 7.3 is plenty powerful, but everyone always wants more. Thanks guys.

I've never heard of that - but maybe someone has?? Personally - I'd stay away from stuff like that on E-Bay. Notice it says 2 TIMES - no garantee?? Too many ways to get hosed IMO.

I agree. I've never heard of that brand and there is no guarantee.

Well maybe I'll just try it. Beginning bid is only like $10- surely it wont go very high. Oh- and this is what I have found on the internet.

Be careful about putting something in your truck that is a POS!!! I'm not saying this chip is but they are out there..If it were me I'd save my $$$ and use it toward a chip/programmer that has been tried and tested..I would hate for you to buy this chip and have and it screw up your truck...Best of luck..

I wouldn't do it. Stick with a comon brand name. I would hate to risk hurting my psd cause I was saving a few bucks on a chip. Not to say anything is wrong with the chip but with so much feedback on other brands I'd think twice.

" I can take a **** in a box and slap a gaurantee on it. But all you get is a gauranteed piece of ****. You get a good look at a t-bone buy sticking your head up a bulls ***, but I'd rather take the butcher's word for it!!"

Quote from Tommy Boy.

Sorry I just could not resist the temptation. Hey man spend the money and get the real thing do not risk your truck on a piece of **** no name chip. Get the time tested chip/tuners.
