Default Voltage Increase Performance Chip?

Hey guys,
So normally I pass up on performance chips and cont really believe in them. This one caught my eye. Has to be with increasing the efficiency of the voltage and stuff to increase performance.

I was just wondering what you guys think about it

No offense, but how can you take anything seriously that looks like that webpage?

Get a grounding kit if you want. I did since it ran me 25$ and worst it can do is ground existing components better.

A sub wiring kit would be good as well just get some new connectors for it. I'll redo mine soon since I only got an 8awg kit, but would like to get at least a 6awg in there.

Here's a full writeup with dyno results from ImortTuner back in the day, worth a read in general when it comes to auto electrics;

Haha guys I had no intention of buying that or any other performance chip. I was only curious because 20 people had bought that particular product, but none had left a negative review of it.

Thanks for shedding some light on this though.
