GF Performance Chip

Has anyone tried one of these Performance Chips yet (in a 2014 5.0)?
http://www.gfchips.com/fordmustang.aspx

GF claims at least a 30hp performance increase, 30 more ft lbs of Torque, AND a 10% increase in better gas milage.

They offically state:
The GF Performance Chip adjusts your air/fuel ratio, ignition timing, and other aspects of your vehicle's engine to SAFELY increase the power, while increasing fuel economy significantly. Our chips are prepared for your vehicle. Your car will run smoother, run cooler and more efficiently at the same time. The gains we advertise are real, and are guaranteed with a money back promise. Our chips will not only increase horsepower, but torque as well for more REAL power. It increases power throughout the full RPM range unlike many competitors.

Anyone have any comments or real world experience with these? May any of the various adjustments (that the chip dynamically makes to the engine) possibly cause damage or reduce engine life in the long run? I'm also thinking that installing this may void the standard Ford warranty??

Those are CRAP!

All they do is change the signal from the IAT sensor which makes the pcm think the air temps are lower than they really are which makes the pcm change the fuel curve.

I would advise you not to risk your warranty/motor to find out. Read their "Dyno Results" page, it's clear they don't even know how performance engine tuning works:

"Being that our system runs more advanced spark timing and a stoichiometric fuel mixture..."

Stoichiometric fuel mixture is 14.7:1. If you actually setup your WOT tuning with more advanced timing and change the A/F ratio to 14.7:1 make sure you duck when the connecting rods come flying at you lol.
