Default $75 Dragon Fire Performance Chip

Guys, I know it's a Stupid question but I saw this on Ebay & was wondering IF any of you have tried it? To me, there's NO way you can get 45% more torque & HP for $75 (that'll usually cost you several thousand) NOT Happening! But, they say you have a 30 day FREE period to return it if you're not satisfied. Just Wondering!

Just another one of those scam tunes, in my opinion. RR tune is the only legitimate tune available for the RCF and it really is only tuning for more midrange torque. Does not help high rpm power.

Only commercially available tune that's reliable in the U.S.**

Does this Dragon Fire Performance Chip also come with a snake oil filter?

To me, it's Amazing HOW these companies can say things like this without Having some kind of Proof! WHY aren't they being held Accountable for these flat out LIES?

Nope, but you CAN get a coupon for a free blinker fluid refill or muffler bearings

We see it everyday in aftermarket automotive lighting, as you can probably imagine. For every Diode Dynamics, or SuperBrightLEDs (They actually measure btw!), there's 50 eBay sellers claiming 50,000+ lumens or something along those lines.

Unfortunately, the burden falls on the consumer to educate themselves and sort fact from fiction. Thankfully, we (car enthusiasts) do have resources available to us like ClubLexus.com and even...dare I say it....Facebook groups to search to other's experiences and get some valuable feedback.

The day I see a simple chip give a car, any car, 45% more torque or hp without any other supporting mods, it will be the day I start believing in magic

Exactly, UNLESS that Chip costs about 10k!
