Those chips are THE source for mad power.

I put like 5 in series on my Camaro and can pull the front wheels 2, maybe 3 feet off the ground when I launch it hard.

Seriously. Search function is your friend. This topic has run it's course here.

....and no. Those chips are a ripoff. They WILL make your wallet faster through weight reduction though.
