up to 20 HP for $20 ... hehehe ...

well, i don't claim to know it all, but when people start throwing around "more HP AND better mileage" i get pretty skeptical. it's not an exhaust system, you know.

they sound like they actually know what they are talking about. But for $20 I can't imagine I'd buy it and actually trust it enough to put it in my car.

It's probably another one of those air temp sensor resistors that fool the car into thinking it's recieving cold air when it's really not. Lame..........

That is not what a REAL performance chip does. A performance chip does not FOOL your computer, it replaces the fuel/spark maps. The computer still knows exactly what is happening, it just behaves in manner wich results in more power. This is a load of *insert custom explitive list here* BS.

yeah, when you're burning more fuel for more HP, how are you using less fuel to get from point A to point B?
