Ok honestly.. Do these do anything at all? People keep telling me I need to chip my car ex. Hypertech. Im like no they are a waste of money and it actually starts arguments.

Someone told me there are chips that gain 200 horse.. Im calling BULLSH*T on that.

Are there any worth while or are they all POS?

I would avoid doing that. The only thing that "chiping" your car will do is attract rodents and other creatures that are looking for food. Mice can get into almost anything if they smell food.

Well, I don't think you'll attract 200 horses with just some chips, but you could certainly gain a good 200lbs if you eat enough of them.

Lots of them taste good, but I'd limit consumption since they can make you fat. I really like Sea Salt and Cracked Pepper myself....definitely worth it IMO.

No if you get lid maf bellow with stock tb and intake with lt headers and true duals. If you get it tuned you can get 60-70hp thats if a pro does it. Thats after your hp add with the parts. If i was you i would get a tuner for delete's like air! Etc etc not dor the 20 hp it can add.

Smart *** i was thinking about doing that. Lmfao

i hate when people call it a "chip"

OBDII cars cant be technically "chipped"

Well I hate u all. And
There are chips out there that supposedly give hp.. And I'm not talking about getting it tuned or programmed.

I am with ksstamp09 there is no "chip" , a chip would be a removable storage inside the pcm that can be swapped , I bought a chip or 2 back in the 80's....

your car has a pcm ( powertrain control module) or ecm ( engine control module) those would be the relevant terms when talking about changing your tune. This unit can be reflashed with a new set of parameters using a tuning software suite such as hp tuners or efi life which allow changes at your will or your tuners will to a lot of the tables in your pcm/ecm.

there are also handhelds which generally offer less customization of yuor tune.

so all the wise guys are right that the only chip that could be in your car would be between the crack in your seat

just have it dyno tuned by someone competent.

Then you are very confused, because there are NO changeable chips for LS1 PCMs, it's all about custom tuning/programmers. No chips. Let's all say it together... "No chips".

Say it, believe it, own it.

cow chips are wonderful........i can throw them quite far

Usually where people will see that kind of HP increase are in Diesels, not in gas engines, OUR cars are better off getting a real tune then an off the shelf tune it will help more and you can easily get stuff tuned out like EGR and AIR

i always hear diesel guys saying "stacking chips"?

is there anything to this?

i would assume when OBDII came out in 96 it applied to diesels and all too. anyone know?

Tune will do you good. Or you can go to ebay, type in "LS1 chip" and you'll get 300 ads boasting to add "200 HP and 20 MPG"

Don't believe the hype

Now you all can STHU cuz you dont have to be smart asses.. Here is what I was talking about. My friend ordered one of these before, and I was wondering if they are nothing but a lie.

how do you want to put that in your car.

If your friend ordered one I would ask him about his experience. I would also still be wary of anything that you just plug in and it gives horsepower. just my two cents
