Not sure if this is the right place for this. I had first seen the ad for G Force chips on this site. I decided to buy one for my 97 ranger and 90 f350. I thought I woudl try to see if I could improve mileage some. Being a curious guy I wanted to see how they worked. It was easy to take them apart. Anyway I was surprised to see a switch in the middle of a pc board, spots for resistors but no resistors. There is no way it could work. Anyway, I sent them back and asked how many were sent out this way. I wonder?
 
Now, being the type of guy who knows enough to know what a resistor is and how they work, do you really think that can do anything to increase power?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........I'd better check my Chip out....if it's got any resistors---I'm gonna take em out to see if the mpg get better!!!!
 
G Force = Horse crap.
 
More likley then not its one of those bullcrap devices that just trick the coolant temp sensor or the air intake temp sensor into always telling the ecm that the coolant or air temp is low (ethier with a resistor or possibly that switch which just shorts the sensor circuit), thus cuasing the ecm to adjust the fuel trim for such conditions and adding more fuel to the engine even when it doesnt need it.

Ill agree that possibly under certain condtions the extra fuel charge may possibly warrant more power out of your motor...however you would probably need to be driving with a lead foot for the engine to make use of the extra fuel, and even in that case it wont really be worth the extra fuel your burning, more so with gas prices the way they are. In addition, the times you arent driving like a 17yr old who just got his license, the motor will still be running rich, burning more fuel all the time...and eventually possibly cuasing premature carbon build up, fouled sparkplugs, and a constant extra load added on the catalytic converter(s).... for those of you with state emissions testing that alone should raise some concern....catalytic converters run a premium to replace not matter what you drive. Just my 2 cents
 
The brand "Cow" chip is better!

So......since I was just pickin about owning a G Chip......I think I'll get a new set of spark plugs/air filter/trip to the Sonic with what's left of the $$$$$$$50 .....LOL
