Title: Chipping???!!!???
Post by: apex on August 19, 2005, 07:46:33 PM

Well, seeing as how no one has asked yet... I am damn curious.

I have seen these chips advertised on eBay. Does anyone know what the gimick is? Anyone done this to their ride? Any first hand experience? Does it hurt/harm/hinder/help?

Anything that claims a 25hp gain for $39.95...well... I must be suspicious.

i want your thoughts on this.

All it is, is a resister, makes the ECU run full rich, or richer than normal, waste of time  IMO
(hence the coolant or air temp senser, makes the comp think the motor is cold and run richer)
