Default Computer chips??

Anyone using the GFChips.com unit advertised on this board? Are they any good?
I have a simular item on our Harley's and they make more HP, More TQ, more MPG and run cooler. This all related to being turned for EPA standards. Is this chip doing the same thing...better fuel ratio and more timing at the expense of EPA.

PS...I'm looking to do this based on my Harley's improvements.

The www.GFChips.com is junk. It is just a simple resister that goes on the IAT sensor to fool the PCM to think the temp is lower and richen up the fuel mixture.

Yup like said above Mopar High Performance PCM's is the best option, for V8's. I got one too, it is worth it.
You didn't say what engine you got but the V6 Mopar High Per. PCM are no longer made, there are a few used around the net. For V6 others had good results with Jetchips plug ins. Although lots have burned up and melted wires ect, including the one I got long ago.

Where do we get one of these? Mopar or aftermarket?
