Default G-Box Outperforms JET V-Chip!!??

Anyone ever heard of this or know if it works??

Thanks.


The G-Box Performance Module From
Next Level Performance!
NEW PRODUCT JUST ON THE MARKET! NOT AVAILABLE IN STORES YET!

The G-Box is a BRAND NEW product just hitting the market! The module was designed to directly compete with the JET V-Chip at a significantly reduced cost. The G-Box not only competes with the higher priced V-Chip, but OUTPERFORMS other competing modules and chips from companies like SLP Engineering and RKRacing.

Performance Gains Averaging 8 - 12Hp!

Why the G-Box?

The G-Box gets results! Designed to be the low-cost-leader in the chip & module market, the G-Box offers more than a very significant cost savings over the similar models from companies like JET & SLP. All 3 units modify the fuel curve of the engine, however, the JET product requires that you change the thermistat in your vehicle, adding another $50 at minimum to the already not-so-cheap price tag of $270. Many JET customers are dissatisfied with this because they have much difficulty getting heat during the winter months. The Next Level Module does not require the replacement or adjustment of any other parts to your vehicle. The Next Level Module provides signal-error protection during extreme operating conditions, the JET & SLP units do not. The Stage 1 G-Box(currently the only model available) did NOT require the use of premium fuel during testing, the JET and the SLP units did(Premium fuel will however enchance the performance gains acheived by the G-Box). Performance gains are very similar between the JET & Next Level units, however the SLP unit lags behind in most conditions. In many instances(reviews widely available on the internet) the JET unit did not provide any performance increase at all(and in all fairness to JET, other times it did). And best of all, the Stage 2(Racing Module) G-Box is tentatively scheduled to be released next fall, at which point Next Level plans to make a cheap upgrade unit for stage 1 owners, allowing them to upgrade to a more aggressive unit when it becomes available(the Stage 2 is expected to require premium fuel). When is the last time JET offered to upgrade chips for past buyers for almost no cost at all?!

Default Good point!

LoL! Makes sense to me. Sounds like someone trying to make their ad sound a lot more credible than it really is maybe. ;-)
