Default Too good to be true?

I looked and read through a ton of forums and saw a link that went back to Performance Chips Reviews .com, but didnt see this one there.
Im looking for a little extra mileage and who doesn't love some extra HP? But for $65.00, could it really offer anything.

Check out the testimonials. The one guy seems....legit.

Which I completely agree with, however in looking at the chips review site, there were a few that they heavily recommended that were right w/in this price range. This is actually was peaked my interest.

I hand tuned my last vehicles motor via my laptop. It was very tedious and took way too much of my time looking back. Each motor needs to be tuned differently. It's not a one tune fits all if u really want it done correctly.

It's real easy to throw a half ass tune together at the expensive of the longevity of the motor.

wait wait...... ""safely unlock up to +75 Horsepower/ + 80 Lbs of Torque and up to +8 MPG in your vehicle!""

Only Chips (flashes) i know of that make that power are chips (flashes) for Turbo applications. (Me personally, I tune with AEM stand alone and HKS F-CON in my free time. I could sit there all day long and lean out and advance the timing, I would never be able to make those numbers without major add on's)

Stick with Superchip for sure!
