That does sound too good to be true. I feel like i would have read it about it on the forum by now. If you look at the description it mentions the discovery in big caps, LAND ROVER DISCOVERY. So obviously they are plugging in car names with the same advertised description. At least that's the vibe I'm getting. But I could be wrong, hopefully someone can verify. I would buy it if it worked haha.

Assuming that this will ACTUALLY do something...IMO, this engine is under-engineered/over-stressed as is, why would you want to elevate stress levels. Your asking for trouble. It's junk stay away!

These things are just putting a resistor on the MAF and changing it to think the ambient air temperature is cooler than actual. POS!

GForce has been around for awhile. I do recall when they first started, origin in the use of the Techtom programming systems from Japan (for Japanese cars). I haven't heard from these guys in a long while. Looks like they expended to all make and models now. The website information reminds me of Superchips, when they began.

Give them all call and ask for the specification sheet for the LR Discovery. If they have done R&D for the Disco, they should have some sort of information.

No. They will either provide you with a newly programmed EEPROM (self install) or will install it into your ECU. This stuff is old-school technology...

Hey, guess what, our trucks are way "OLD SCHOOL" so what.
I have no problem in using something like this, even if it is just some sort of resistor package in-line, if it works, that's great.
I will be calling them today to get more information, if anyone else is interested, let me know.
Worse case, we install it and it doesn't give us what we want, we have 14 days to return it.
