We have seen and discussed plenty of these type devices before. '100 HP + 30mpg increase' - yeah, right. To answer a quote from their ad, 'You may be thinking, "What is the difference between this MindBlower Performance Module and a $300.00 handheld tuner?", the answer is - most of the $300 handheld tuners actually work.

dude...save your money, all this thing is a $.10 resisitor in a box. It is NOT A PERFORMANCE CHIP, its one of the biggest scams on eBay. It bypasses the IAT sensor to give it a set reading instead of the variable one given from the IAT. Thisso called chip can give yourtruck a very lean fuel mixture which can damage your engine.Do a google search and you will see what I am talking about.

They are a resistor which modifies the signal for the IAT sensor. That is it. The PCM will adjust and nullify this modification in a fairly short period of time. All of these modules are a farce and over time do nothing.

And which is it that you have? A 1995 Blazer or a 1996 Blazer?
