Innovative Performance Chip

[602]

Has any one else tried one of these, I installed about 1 month ago , i have been checking fuel milage hand calculated and have seen a 2-3 mpg gain , i also think it may have a little better performance , seems smoother.

How 'bout a link please.

Update on innovative chip, I originally found this on my facebook feed and ordered it before checking it out , I did remove it after finding out how it works, what it does using resistors is make the engine temperature cold all the time so it runs richer , it taps into The wiring at the mass airflow sensor at the air cleaner box, after more testing on the mileage it doesn’t make much difference, I checked on a 800 mile trip and I guess it was wishful thinking to start with , I would not recommend it to any one, it may cause unforeseen damage to the ECM I think the best answer for me will probably be the Banks Darenger.

Glad you found it out early on. My advice is NEVER buy anything from a Facebook ad. I have tried a few items and every one was worthless with no recourse.

Total agree with John on never purchasing on Facebook

You might look at GDE tuning as the Banks isn't a true tune either.

Can you get a GDE tune that does not have a delete feature, I live in Phoenix and have to be emissions compliant

You are in luck, GDE has a 49 state emissions compliant tune that has an excellent reputation.

I have a Banks Derringer, ended up buying a tune anyway. Now it's just an expensive boost/air density gauge. I recommend you save your time and money and go straight for a good tune, there's a few to choose from.
