Anyone know anything about this??
Here is the write-up:
The G-Box gets results! Designed to be the low-cost-leader in the chip & module market, the G-Box offers more than a very significant cost savings over the similar models from other performance companies. All of these units modify the fuel curve of the engine, however, some products require that you change the thermistat in your vehicle, adding more cost to the already not-so-cheap price tags of $250+. Many users are dissatisfied with this because they have had much difficulty getting heat during the winter months. The Next Level module does not require the replacement or adjustment of any other parts on your vehicle. The G-Box also provides Signal Error Protection during extreme operating conditions, other modules and chips do not. The stage 1 G-Box did NOT require the use of premium fuel during testing, many other performance modules do(Premium fuel will however enhance the performance gains acheived by the G-Box). And best of all, the Stage 2 upgrade module is tentatively scheduled to be released this fall, at which point Next Level plans to offer it to Stage 1 owners at a deep discount if they wish to upgrade to more aggressive and versatile performance settings.
The G-Box enhances performance in two ways. First, it modifies signals being read by the ECU causing an adjustment to the fuel curve, which is what creates the performance gain. All performance chips and modules operate in this manner. The fuel curve is modified across the entire rpm range, increasing low-end throttle response, increasing high-rev power and making upshifting more crisp. The second feature of the G-Box is it's "High-Heat Signal Correction." In short, when the engine compartment heats up, some sensors that relay pertinent fuel curve contingent information to the ECU begin to lose accuracy due to heat absorption into the sensor. The ECU then reads these incorrect signals, and leans out the fuel curve, which is bad for performance. These errors cannot be corrected from within the computer, there must be an independant unit to correct these errors. The G-Box is designed to automatically compensate for these signal errors.
Is this thing for real or what? Need some opinions!

That looks like it was written by a 7th grader.
"In short, when the engine compartment heats up... The ECU then reads these incorrect signals, and leans out the fuel curve, which is bad for performance."
What car leans out the curve when the engine compartment gets too hot? So stupid.
I guess they are just adding more fuel then.. (since leaning is bad) so not only will you get less power (from too much fuel), but your MPG will drop. Why am I even replying to this? UGH!
