Default Do Preformance Chips Work

Do these chips make a notable difference in driving? I have an automatic Tc donno if that matters.

*sigh*

no chip like that will do anything.

now just to warn you, you will get quite flamed for this post.

The only thing that is really good are either piggy-backs or standalones, and for a real effect from one of those, you would need to have either a lot of motor modifications or a turbo / supercharger.

lol. i dont mean to flame if it sounds like i am

but do you honestly think something for 70 bucks will give u that big of an HP boost?

when i first saw this title i thought "musta just dropps in a turbo or s/c and needs to remap the ECU" becasue i would like peoples opinions who have had their ECU remapped (i know most turbo applicatins you need to do it anyway)

Before this thread takes off... going to lock it (only b/c these usually end up bad, not to mention there have been multiple threads before).

These have been brought up MANY times before. General consensus is stay away. Far away. Enough said.
