XLR Motorsports Chip - Yeah or Nay

[couger77]

Is this thing for real?

What do I need to worry about when installing this chip? The part looks like a regular transistor that I stick in the IAT plug.

Other alternatives?

Thanks, guys.

Oh where to start.
First off straight up NO.
It says it works for 1991-2008 explorers. Thats the first flag.
Second flag is that it is $8.99.
3rd flag is that it says its going to give you 70HP more and 70ft-lbs of torque. All that for 9 dollars.
4th flag is that it says it will improve your MPG by 20mpg. Aldive woulda saved a lot of money if he could have just bought this chip.

People pay 2 or 3k for a s/c or a turbo that gives them supposedly the same amount of power.

Do yourself a favor and stay away from it

Definite BS.

I like how it says it can smooth the shifts in an automatic and manual transmission.

How the hell can it control a manual?

 

[couger77]

Alllllrighty then.

Thanks for the tip fellas.

I feel like and idiot but I am glad I did not succumb to the mind tricks.
