Is anyone using the Evolv performance chip?

[B-rad351]

Greetings all, I already have a ProCal tune in my ‘24, 2.7 automatic. Very happy with it. Because we all search for more power I purchased the Evolv chip as they promise more hp and better fuel economy on top of the ProCal tune.

I assumed that this chip would plug into the diagnostic connector to do its thing. It does not. It actually hooks up (only 2 wires) to the intake air temperature sensor and manipulates the reading going to air/fuel and timing management.

I have not hooked this up because to me (a 30+ year ASE Master with a degree in electronics, retired) it just doesn’t seem to hit right.

They promise up to 35 hp and 3-5 mpg increase.
I’d appreciate your thoughts and experiences with this ‘miracle’ chip.

I’ve seen many ads for this and it seems like if it was legit Ford would have already done it since they would greatly benefit from that much of an mpg gain.

The MPG claims are complete nonsense.
If you’re looking for more power, get a custom tune.

Agreed, but that kinda goes back to the, why didn’t Ford do this tune to start with? Higher octane not withstanding.

This is what I thought it was originally as it doesn’t say how it interacts with the factory settings.

It’s basically like a JB4, it simply modifies signals between sensors and the PCM.

Yes, you are correct.

No CANbus so it might look like JB4 but there is no comparison.
