This chip is claimed to gain upwards of 35 hp and 4 mpg...... is this possible? I've never even heard of a chip for our cars until now... What do you guys think about this looks like some have been sold, anbody on here buy one?

Really ???

You find a product that will increase both MPG and HP ... and I'll buy the ocean front view home in Kansas. Think about this now .... and you'll see how silly this thread is.

All these chips claim to do the same thing but IF they do anything, all they do is lean out the fuel system, technically higher gas mileage and technically more hp at the higher rpms where factory fuel trim tends to be rich anyway.

awesome!! you found someone else i can harrass on ebay

Finally i can say "you are selling a performance chip that you simply went to radio shack and bought a 80 cent resistor and hooked it inline with the ATS and claim to gain thousands of Rediculous hp. And oh oh oh. ima take 10 Guage THICK A%% wire to make it seem like a reputable item i am selling. :P

LOL..

Anything like that sold on ebay is JUNK.... I wouldn't risk making my car run Richer than it actually is.

Kinda reminds me of the JET chip i bought for my friends Tundra.. It hooked up to the ATS, and the RPM wire of the truck.. No noticeable gains. except for the truck dumping SO MUCH fuel. So basically he paid 300 dollars for a Computer to make the truck Dump Fuel and Create an engine Problem. And Speaking of JET chips.. i wouldn't buy from them..

They are smart at saying. "once you open this package, The Item warranty is void" Really nice..

but this little Ebay Chip is nothing but Bogus simple Dollar making products. like the Tornado Air Spinner thingy you put in your intake to increase Gas Mileage and power.. T-T

Its not making the richening you have to worry about... its the leaning out part that really causes problems...
