"The G-Box is a BRAND NEW performance product just hitting the market! Available now at over 50% off the introductory retail price! The module was designed to directly compete with the more expensive performance modules, power programmers and upgrade chips, but at a significantly reduced cost."

Not sure what to make of this.

He left his AIM screenname at the bottom of the listing.. "dudelbugie" Maybe some of you can come up with some good questions to ask and try to find out whether or not this is legit.

looks good on paper.... but i wonder about the real results....... there is no proof it works... sure testimonials are great and all.... but be skeptical until you try it yourself......

I dont know about any G-box, but I do know that if something seems too good to be true........

I would be more likely to buy a chip that others on the board have already installed and have had good results.

This is the same as those $4.95 performance mods that are on eBay with a fancy box to plug in. They are simple resistors that change the air/fuel mixture to a fixed position. Sure it will give you some performance but will not factor in altitude and barimetric pressure anymore like the factory computer is supposed to.

Well, you may gain some power with that. However, you also run the risk of losing power, mileage, and damaging your motor and/or computer.

Get an Apten chip.

While it kind of sucks, I've gone by the motto you get what you pay for when it comes to car parts. Think about it- for 45 bucks do you think you will get the same performance as a 225 dollar chip?
