GForce Performance Chip

Hi guys,

So i bought the GForce Performance chip already and installed it. I wished I did some research before because the everyone one the internet seems to hate it. I drove around with it today and the only thing that I noticed is that it revs higher when I put my foot to the floor. Now I can't tell if its putting more stress on my engine or I have more power. I doubt its the second option. I'm gonna take it out soon but does any one have proof with before and after dyno results that this chip does or does not work?

Thanks

Never heard of GForce. What kind of engine do you have?

I've seen similar chips being sold on ebay... Be very careful as they usually adjust the fuel mixture to run lean which is how they get their 'savings'.

Well I know that SCT is a popular brand here on the forums and they are what I would consider reputable.
As for the GForce I hate to say this but...

Yes but that could eventually lead to premature rebuild........if it's running you too lean, things are going to go bad. Saving a little now........for a whole lot of expense later.
Just my 2ct.
