Hi isrummell.

How ya doin' today?

I haven't heard of anyone using this specific chip, but I must state that such increases in power generally have a detrimental effect on gas mileage, and vice versa.

Most (dependable)tunes by BlackBear or NelsonTune, for instance, are more than twice as much.This simply sounds too good to be true...

there are hundreds of chips like this in the motorcycle world.
For that price for what they say it does, 100% chance it won't do didley squat.
waste of money.
real chips that actually do stuff like improve performance and whatnot cost several hundred dollars.
Unless they have a dynomometer report to prove what they are saying, don't even look twice

50+HP,50+TQ, +6MPG??? Not happening out of a 350 without engine work. I'm sure you'll feel a sligth extra kick, and if you keep your foot out of it, prolly see 1-2mpg increase.
And any chip that states, "fewer oil changes due to less stress on engine," is some B.S. Blackbear Tune is the way to go IMO, if you keep the truck for awhile.

It wouldn't let me open the link you provided, but going by what everyone else has been saying, it sounds like junk. No way can you get that kind of hp boost and torque boost with that increase in mileage. There's loopholes where they can say that kind of stuff and get away with it without it actually being "true." Normally there's something in the fine print somewhere that states what they really mean.

I've seen similar things where they test a car without the chip, then test the same car with other modifications and the chip, then claim the chip is the reason for the increase in everything. I would steer clear of it
