Default Performance Chips?

Has anyone installed a performance chip on your GS? If so what are your thoughts?

I am thinking about ordering the one below in the link...$70 bucks seems a bit light for a performance chip...

Oh my.

How can somebody with enough brains to have amassed the cash required to drive a 450h look at the claims being made on that product and even get to the point of considering buying into it is beyond me.

So, if you want something REAL, I'll sell you a chip that adds 75hp for only $60, so PM me. Installation is easy, you just attach it with 3m double sided (included!) tape to your coolant tank.

Excuse me? I never said I was purchasing, That's why I posted I thought it was way to good to be true and most likely a scam resistor of some sort.

Perhaps you can have someone re-read the post for you as you seem to have come to your own delusional conclusions.

Responses like this always crack me up! just another guy that's to smart for his good.....so he thinks!

Guys take the rude personal commentary to PM or better still, keep it off our forum entirely. CL isn't that kind of place.

There are no magic performance chips for any Lexus. Search and you'll find loads of threads on this topic.
