Default Performance CHIPS?

hey,
has anyone installed those performance chips from places like ebay for under $20. They claim to get 10 MPG and almost 40+ HP. Is any of this even remotely accurate?

thanks,

lmao

biggest

scams

EVER

no the ones that are legit will get you no more than 5. because all they do is trick the IAT about the temperature running into the intake. if you want a real chip then look at the ones that are about 100-200 they replace the MAF like http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=skuthat one.

NOTE: YOU CANNOT CHIP A FORTH GEN
YOU CAN REPROGRAM THE CPU
BUT YOU CANNOT APPLY AN EXTERNAL CHIP
THE CHIP YOU WILL BUY OFF EBAY IS A 5 DOLLAR RESISTER FROM AUTOZONE

The more resistorsyou add the more power the engine will make, and makes no difference what you attach them to. Almost as good as gutting the cat.

The resistors are almost as good, but nothing can ever trump the amazing HP gain from gutting the cat...

As Spartan said, go get a dyno tune, don't even mess with hand-held tuners or "chips" they're all paperweights. Well, the hand-held tuners are more of a paperweight than the chips, because a chip isn't very heavy, it's more of an...expensive staple I suppose...
