30-40 HP for under $20?

I am looking at this chip on ebay-Gorillachipz that allegedly adds 28-43 HP. Do you gearheads think it is a legitimate product? Could it hurt my engine?? Thanks for the help.

I Place a $100.00 bill on the dash in front of my passenger and if they Can grab it when the flag drops they can keep it haven't lost one yet.
My Car is an 89 5.0 GT Cold air intake, Throttle Body Spacer-Performance Parts, Freon cooled.
Gorillachipz®™ StageII Performance parts Machined polished and plated High flow TB, And a cat back exhaust with H pipe other than that stock.
i like that comment, why the hell wouldnt the bill fly off the dash if your flooring it and it slams you back in the seat.

for mustang owners...its an accomplishment if they place a marble on their dash and it rolls off when they floor it

STICKERS would make it a LOT faster along with a full race ash tray and a 3/4 race cigarette lighter.

Ya could add two can's of compression and it would really fly.

Ive heard a theory on the stickers before. Goes like this.

The vinyll stickers are smoother than the paint therefore allowing the air to flow over the body better making the car more aerodynamic.

sounds kinda ricey to me

I documented gaining 3 seconds in the 1/4 mile by using that chip and dumping sand and water into my gas tank.

wow upon further reading into that listing, that guy is a complete assbag if I ever saw one. Do not buy that dumb *** chip seriously, not to be a dick, but if you even had to ask, you need some reading material before getting involved with something like that out of inexperience.

The most Inexpensive Way to gain up to 60 Horsepower
The best bang for the buck in the real world is a mail order tune from Ion, etc. which will yield a realistic 15hp.

You can get the radiators out of old school VW beetle's for pretty cheap now, they make good blinker fluid coolers.
