From their website for the Jeep "chip": When the chip is plugged into your car’s OBD2 port, it receives real-time data through the OBD2 connection allowing the chip to study your driving habits and modify signals sent to your vehicles ECU. By safely optimizing functions such as the ignition timing, air to fuel ratios, transmission shifting and fuel maps, the chip module provides the ultimate horsepower, torque and mileage gains.

There is no way a device plugged into the OBD port is going to do any of the things they claim. Without bypassing the SGW it cannot even read read time data.

I feel sullied just from visiting their site.

And now I am getting ads from them on Facebook. Just goes to show how carefully we are watched.

Pentastar problems?
Why spend thousands replacing the valvetrain on your 3.6L when you can regain all that lost horsepower for only $99.95!

I wired up two in parallel and got a 120HP gain to the wheels. Had to modify the jeep to run in FWD only so it doesn’t wheelie all the time.

I’m shopping for a midsize pick up
Gladiator meets that quest. BTW. What Badunit posted is on point. The ECU has to be unlocked by the Tuner company (so far only 1 is rumored to be capable of unlocking the GPEC 5 ECU) on 2021 and up Gladiators. That is why what Badunit posted is on point IMO. Good luck n your quest fdor a midsize.
