No. They are blatant false advertising and lies. It is not a chip. It alters the air temperature reading causing the computer to alter the fuel. This will eventually cause it to explode killing you and your family. Total scam. Don't buy it.

Haha that's hilarious, and so un-true.

The chips kinda work, but you're better off getting a progammer/tuner.
They are worth the money more than a chip.

Um. No. You're a fool. They're a total scam. They're a total lie. And they will have adverse harmful effects on your engine. And, lastly, they are not a chip either. Obviously I was kidding about killing your family. The rest is true.

Next.

You're better off getting a tuner. Chips really don't do anything and are a waste of money. A tuner is the exact opposite and it allows you to make changes that really make a difference, especially if you changed the ignition system and various other mods that are similar. You're way better off in getting a quality tuner from a place like SCT.
