Saw this link at the top our page.

Is this real? Or just another "try to trick the IAT sensor" (that doesn't work) scam? Any real world experience with these?

From what I've seen, with these "VooDoo" chips, is it's better to give $70 to a stranger and keep driving.

Yep...Junk. Now if they had one that change the MAF/IAT and upstream o2 sensor it could be a viable product. But all you would do is lean the engine out which could be dangerous. What kills me is that the OLD genvibe website ran the ADs for those "chips". I hope they don't allow them back!

What I thought. The adds come up when the creepy crawlers find the site. Since I run Fire Fox, I just ad blocked it. No sense in being tempted by the "too good to be trues".
