The mod chip for any car is a rip. What it does is trick the computer into thinking the car is getting too much air, so to compensate it increases the fuel dump into the injectors. Yes, you will see more power, but not more horse power or wheel horse power. It does the same thing as putting your foot closer to the floor while resting on the gas pedal. A better mod would be to get a cold air intake and a light-weight flywheel. This would give you an additional 7-12 wheel horse power. If you want more power on the lower band, go with a short ram intake over a cold-air intake. The cold-air will rob the lower end just slightly and maximize the mid level rpms. With a good CAI, make sure you get a bypass valve to avoid hydrolock. If you want even more power, get a better intake manifold, exhaust manifold, downpipe, and complete catback system. Overall, your maximum increase in horses will be about 20-30 horses depending on all of the mods done. You should expect about $3000 budget for all of the low-end equip I just mentioned. You can get a little more whp (wheel horse power) by adding a turbo of some form. The benefit of going N/A (naturally aspirated), there is less chance of voiding your warranty. The bottom line, don't waste your money on a mod chip... they are worthless.

lol.... yea Spr0ket is right.. alot of the time these so called "Chips" put your engine computer in a weird almost limp home mode causing your fuel economy to go way down. Honestly I would not put anything on mine. I like my warranty and do not want to void it.
