Hey guys,
i've searched and haven't found anything regarding what im wondering,
in looking for chips to add HP, MPG, they are all in the $300-$400 range, however i did find this which is $69 and i was wondering if it was safe, worth it, if anyone else has experience with this product, any suggestions.

99% of all chips will be useless to you and your cause. From what I learned you only gain minimal increases at very high rpm levels and during WOT pulls. Unless you are trying to adjust shift points, you will find better ways of spending your money.

One member had his PCM nuked when he used his chip. If that happened, that sure would suck! Is that worth the risk of a 3% HP gain?

That POS would be the biggest waste of money you could ever put towards your Jeep. If you feel the need to spend $69 on your Jeep, go buy enough oil and filters to last you for 2 or 3 oil changes and call it a day.

Seriously, why would anyone buy that thing? It's amazing what a little creative marketing and hype will do.

No kidding. If it was that simple, Jeep would have done it at the factory.
