GFORCE CHIPS THIS COMPANY CLAIMS THAT THEY SELL A GFORCE CHIP THAT WILL IMPROVE HORSEPOWER, GAS MILEAGE FOR YOUR TOYOTA FJ CRUISER. I AM A DISABLED VETERAN AND CANNOT INSTALL IT MYSELF, SO I TOOK IT TO MY AUTHORIZED TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY WOULD NOT INSTALL IT STATING THAT IT WOULD DELETE MY WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE. THEY STATED THAT IF THERE WAS A CHIP THAT WOULD DO THIS, TOYOTA WOULD HAVE MADE ONE. IRVINE California
I purchased a Gforce chip for my toyota fj cruiser with the information that company gave to me stating that it would increase my mileage and horsepower. Being a disabled verteran, I could not install it myself so I took it to my authorized Toyota service and they would not install it stating that it would cancel my warranty. They also stated that if ;there was a chip for my vehicle, Toyota would have made one, and they have not.
I called the company need a return authorization and they told me that there was a 25% restocking fee, this was never mentioned before in any of there advertisements. All their advertisements said was that they were 100% returnable.

Gforce chips:
Work well enough for the company to be imune from lawsuits.
The chips trick your stock computer into providing a slightly diferent fuel mixture primarily at high throttle settings.
People "In the Know" report that improvements can not be felt by the seat of your pants and very dificult to see at the pumps.
General thought is to get the improvments hinted at by Gforce you are better off to visit your local hot rod computer tunner and he can "Re-flash" your computer with a more usefull pertformance set up that you will actually feel.
