"Up to 60 hp", yeah right. They have 3 dyno "claims". 2 cars apparently gained 10 hp and the other gained 4. Gee, just a little shy of their big print claim isn't it!
"The GForce module installs into your CHEVROLET CAMARO's engine bay and is connected via 2 wires that plug into the IAT sensor".
All it is, is a cheap Radio Shack resistor wired in-line to your intake air temp sensor, to fool the ecm into thinking the incoming air is colder than it really is, which richens up the fuel mix. The picture they show is misleading. But simply adding more fuel isn't a magical fix for gaining h.p., and it certainly isn't the best way to gain mpg as they also claim. Your 305 would need major major mechanical work to get another 60 h.p. out of it, and it's not going to come from any mystery chip.

For that money you can buy a Turbinator from Pep Boys, looks much more impressive and has the same effect on engine power. Almost as good as the back pressure enhancing "O" tube exhaust system, which claims 150 HP increase. lol

lol. David might not know what you're talking about Pete.
Here, take a look around at this site.
They carry plenty of "enhancements" that will give you the same results as "the chip": Performance : KaleCoAuto.com, Your home for the rare, unusual, and hard to find auto parts.

sure, if you and Pete keep picking on the noob I'm going to have to report you to the mods.............

To the OP, don't listen to those 2. The 305 is a fire breathing monster and this mod will give you a true 50 HP to the rear wheels
