Yeah, I finally found that it was a scam for the most part. More negative information than positive.

I have a gforce chip,and I love it.1.5 mpg increase maybe 15 more hp.Best thing is no pedal hesitation.
Now I allowed more air than stock setup,to go with added enrichment.

I'm not really sure that chipping a normally aspirated car gains you a whole lot. A chip really will gain you the most bang for the buck with a forced induction car. The two Audis I had previous gained around 40 hp and 80 ft/lbs of torque with just a chip, but they were turbo cars. I would think the most you could get out of a normally aspirated car would be *maybe* 10-15 horsepower? To get significant power increases you'd have to put a supercharger or turbo on the thing. These cars aren't exactly rocketships to begin with. If people want to go really fast, the C300 and C350 aren't where you should be spending your money. I've had 2 Audis (both very modified), and a Lotus Elise (after market supercharger ~ 245 hp on a 1950 lb car). All of those were extremely fast. I got the C300 sport because it looks good, and is sporty, but I'm not fooling myself into thinking it is a fast car. Do I love it? Yes. But, I'm not out there trying to win any races with it.
