computer upgrade

wassup fellow maxima enthusiasts,
hey i just purchased a speed chip on ebay, the profile says it will boost my max by 20 horsepower! thats cool but what im skeptical about is that i only ended up payin $3 for it, thats including shipping and handeling. i dont want to put this thing in my max if its going to mess up the rest of the computer system. if thats the case ill just trash the little chip. but if it works than thats the best 3 bucks i ever spent!
my max is a 96 gxe, auto with an injen cai, but other than that shes stock. if any other maxima lover have any advice please let me know.bowdown:
