Hello Everyone, Saw this on Ebay today and just thought I would put it out here for any opinions. Looks like a chip that could increase hp by 20 for only 7 bucks? Seems fishy but just thought it would be interesting to hear others oppinions on this. Thanks Chad http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1498&item=5714808629&rd=1

No...its basicaly a resister that fools your MAF into thinking your getting more air...its pretty much snake oil.
Positive gains have only been proven by dyno tuning (Arizona Dyno Chip) with a well know dyno tuner that has had ecperience with our vehicals....Don;t buy into it...if you want to try it go ahead, for 7 bucks (but shipping will get you) its not that bad...but you can find instuctions on how to make it on the net, and you ended up spending maybe 3 bucks on making it.
All in all it doesn really work...too many variables...Dyno tuning is the way to go.

because most 16 year old kids think that modding a car consits of a grapefruit shooter and an intake.
