i've seen and heard about computer chips that are supposed to make your car "gain 20 hp" which i think is complete b.s... but do they even work at all?... does anyone have experience, or know anyone with experience with these "speed chips"

Don't do it. It's just a resistor. There are plenty of other posts concerning this. Use the search function up top and it'll tell you what others say about it.

bah, they suck

usually anyone that has a "chip" is just tarded...

they had an sc pulley, chip combo for the SC's at one point, there was a 20hp gain but that's due to the smaller sc pulley...

thanks guys, i have been hearing about them for a while, and i was curious and i knew this would be the right place to find out... i dont really have the most money (i am still in high school) but no matter what age, u always want better performance... so i thought mabye this would be one way, but i guess not.

ebay has the most "power adding" bs I have ever seen, you should only buy it if you know about it before you find it I believe
