Vertex Perf chips?

[GeneM]

So, I just happened to stumble upon this from one of my news feeds, most likely because I've researched performance stuff for my truck in the past and these tracking algorithms are spoon feeding this too me now.
Anyhow, it did peak my interest but I'm not convinced that this will do anything but lighten my bank account, looking for some feedback on this thing?

Just think it through...what does this do?
Would that have benefitted Ma Mopar?
Then why didn't she do it from the get go ?

A performance chip that increases your mpg.

Snake Oil like getting 50 hp from an oiled air filter just saying.

Performance equals Cam work/change. Top end work. Long tubes. Tune etc etc. IMHO.

Blower n whipple etc etc.

It not technically a false claim. “Up to” covers their backsides.

Seriously, though, we were laughing at this stuff when EBay was becoming a thing.

Makes you wonder who is responsible for information on their website? Most of these places will throw in a "with supporting mods" catch all. 6+ mpg if you remove 2000 lbs from the truck, lower it, put low rolling resistance tires on it, and only drive it downhill then push it uphill.
