Snake oil

[mrkinger]

I dont know if everyone can see the same advertisement i see,but its about the Chrysler Chip for $69.00 ,and says 70 more HP and 7 miles to a gallon better or your money back.I bought one for my Nitro and it didnt do anything i could notice,I called them and explained i wasnt happy with there product.Remember what they say ,money back gauranteed,they pretty much told me to have a nice day.So there it sits on my tool box.just a reminder what snake oil consist of.

at least it was only $69....LOL... you honestly didn't think your little Nitro engine was going to pick-up 70hp did you ?? especially with just a programmer or chip ??, maybe with a supercharger, rocker ratio or camshaft change, air box, gauze filter, injector/igniton change, headers & free flowing exhaust... advertising 101, the bait & switch or promise them the world...LOL...

I wonder what it said in the fine print, probably a 6.4ltr Hemi with racing gas, larger injectors & exhaust changes or something, results will vary probably also...LOL...

:iamwithstupid:

I did giggle a little, while writing the 1st response, I did a $400 Hypertech power programmer on my 99 4x4 Dakota 5.2ltr Magnum with taller 32"x11"x16"" tire, with an $150 AEM air box, 4" intake tube, high swirl AEM TB spacer & gauze filter, $370 Harlan Sharpe 1.7:1 rockers, $150 3" cat back Flowmaster & I get an average of about 2.5mpg {15mpg average} better than stock tune {probably 12.5mpg at best}, combined city/hwy, on freeways driving it's almost 5mpg {17.5-20mpg average, depending if I stay under 70 or not}, but we don't have any freeways here in the sticks...LOL..., along with a bunch more "useable power/tq" for driving in the hills, here where I live, not sure how much actual power increase, maybe 10%-15% max overall, probably will make a little more improvement {like 10% more maybe}, with just the $250 Edelbrock Shorty tunned "chrome" headers, I still need to install... I did a similar combo on an old R/T Dakota 2wd 5.9ltr & made about 55 net rwbhp from all the additions... Improvements weren't cheap about $1000 for 5mpg & maybe 40-50HP

Thanks for the input Paul, I have a 07 Nitro and I know how crappy the fuel mileage is...I can see you wanting to do a bit better.

CONFUCIUS SAY : " ....if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."
CONFUCIUS ALSO SAY:"..... if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, and swims like a duck.....its more than likely, A DUCK ! "
CONFUCIUS ALSO SAY AGAIN :"....one can not expect miracle cures from a SNAKEOIL salesman "

 

[ram250098]

I find mine very hard on fuel...maybe I should slow down a bit and see if it gets better LOL

Hey Al,i drive mine pretty easy,which isnt always good,my wife and i just love it so i can live with the gas mileage,This is my second new one.im retired so we dont go to far.Besides id rather pay a little more for gas ,than go down 401 in a Sh/////t box LOL
