SLR Performance Chip

SLR Performance Chip
I clicked on the ad for the SLR motorsports website, and saw the performance chip they were selling for $69. It claimed to give +50hp and +50ft lb torque, and improve gas mileage by 3 - 6 mpg. Are these claims reliable, especially for the price or should I keep looking for something different?

My experience with these types of things have been laughable. A buddy of mine tried to sell me a "chip" for my camaro back in college, he showed me his and it was nothing more than a circuit that fed a constant reading to the mass air flow sensor. Probably cost a nickel at the hardware store, but they got him for $50. I'd say it's not worth your time or money, however, if you're bored and have the money, they do offer a 100% money back guarantee, just read all the fine print. Be wary of anyone who doesn't explain HOW it works.

I think you're dead on here Thumper! I've been seeing these "get 3+ mpg and 50+ hp for only $50 + postage ads for more years than you've been on this earth. There was a pretty cool old dude named P.T. Barnum who supposedly said something about: "A sucker born every minute".
And, even if he really didn't say that, it's a pretty apt quote.
"Get something for nothing" - right!!

Thanks for the info guys... I had a feeling it was too good to be true. I mean it's just a chip!! A passive component that like you said can be bought at radio shack for $.50!! Good thing I read further to see what is included in that package... a chip, some leads, and velcro tape. I guess the price markup is in the velcro tape!!
I read other threads about the Gryphon tuner... that one looks pretty cool. I like the display where you can read different things that are going on with your truck while you're tooling down the road. I may give them a call one day and see what can be done for me.

There's some sound reasoning! You won't regret a dime invested with PHP!
