Default $69 to Chip Your Car by GForce??? Reliable?

GForce is advertising that their $69 performance chips can increase up to 50lb torque, 60hp, and around 10% better fuel economy. Is this true good to be true? Has anyone ever done this?
Pleas help!!!

Please don't waste your money on something that will do nothing at all.

Lol every 3 months or so a new member will post a thread about these chips. Dont believe the hype. Youll gain more hp by stripping your interior vs buying that chip

LOL wow if you want to believe these claims. If it was that easy and cheap to gain that much power don't you think everyone would do it?

This is a gamble. $69 bet on a part that the makers are saying its proven. Don't ruin your IS

LMAO @ the NNOOOOO MONICCAAA video...

But a $69 chip for an IS? Not worth in my IMO.. way to much risk even if it were to work...
