Default AutoChipsDirect.com ?

I see their advertisement at the top of the forum page a lot of the time and was just curious if there was any truth to their claims such as:
  • Up to +75 Horsepower
  • Up to +80 Ft.Lbs of Torque
  • Up to +8 MPG Fuel Savings
Just can't believe that my HEMI could get any better fuel mileage with their performance module let alone +8 MPG!


If you have any experience with their product please share.

BOGUS. If it's too good to be true....Always is.
You'll pay $250-600 for a descent Tuner. Stay FAAAAAR away from anything labeled as a "Chip".
All that is is a $0.10 resistor in a box.

If you want better mpg's, get rid of the Hemi truck and buy a car. That's all there is to it. By the time you spend Hundreds to gain a lousy 1mpg, it'll take you years and years to get that money back.
