GF performance chip?

When I was on google trying to learn a little more about some mods I could do to benifit my car, I ended up stumbling across this site advertizing a Gforce performance chip. Ill let you look for yourself. Does anyone have any experience dealing with these or this particular brand? does it really give the kind of gains it claims? (im guessing not), does this in any way damage or harm the life of my engine? any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Yea, people say that the chips don't work, but the gforce is real. It's really legit and works as advertised. It's pretty cheap and easy to install too! I bought it, and I measured my HP before and after installation. It added 60HP exactly, and it increased my MPG by 7. I figure it will pay for itself pretty quickly. So far, it hasn't hurt the car in any way. Also, I noticed it has a bonus feature of automatically refilling the coin holder when you empty it. Also, my CD changer was acting up with the common CD stuck error, and not it works flawlessly. Also, my transmission started throwing 3rd gear clutch codes, and the chip seems to have fixed that too. It's almost as if it's healing the car.

You should get one.

Jdubs, there is no chip for our cars.
Honda has tuned the v6 motor to almost its full potential.

plus, the stock ECU will rewrite over any kind of chip you install. so
basically, there is no magic chip that will increase horsies.
