OBD Chip

Hey guys,

would you consider these performance chips for your car? I see they have one for the 3.8. Not sure if they are legit with the BHP or just some fancy tool that doesn't do anything? 40 more horse power sounds to good to be true..

I'd stay away from these generic tunes. "Best case," nothing happens, no changes. Worse case, you do long term damage to your vehicle. These boxed tunes will often randomly play with timings, fuel mappings, and throttle response in hope of either improving power or giving that impression.

There are also enough questionable and negative reviews out there to suggest avoiding them.

If you want a tune, look for a reputable and experienced company that specifically creates custom tunes for the Genesis vehicles. Even then, there is always going to be a risk of damage if they don't know what they're doing.

5.0 no such thing not even with an experienced tuner. They haven't been able to break the programing, hence no tunes offered. 3.3T . Get a RaceChip it's available. 3.8 13+ Blood Type Racing maybe.

I had installed a chip in my 3.8L Genesis, worked great for 2 years, then the check engine light came on. Had to remove. Just buy the car you want with the power you want. That said, I will stick to Genesis, waiting for the SUV!
