I was looking that their website and they were saying that you can get a 70 HP gain from their horsepower and O2 chips. Anyone ever heard this before or think this is true? Its about 140 bucks and I dont wanna spend that if it wont work. Any feed back will be wonderful. Thank you.

Too good to be true. A friend of mine was duped by a website similar to that. They sent him a chip in a plastic box with 2 wires coming out of it. When you opened the box it had 2 wires soldered to two legs of the chip and you were suppose to hook it up to your IAT sensor. And he paid $70 for it lol

all these "performance chips" are is resistors, and they do nothing more than trick your computer into thinking the engine is colder than it is causing the engine to run rich. Go with a tune. Im getting mine from pcms 4 less, there's also wait4me, and a few others, run a search on this forum and you'll find a ton of info and the prices arent much more if any than what your looking at.
