They have no many of these "chips" on ebay I'm sure everyone seen them I think there BS but I do believe they bump timing I've been told so I dont really have a way to bump my timing on my own so all these chips worth it. I hate all the headlines "20+ horsepower gain" SUCH CRAP, thanks

heres the chips click here

I've seen a few of these...

These are home-made pieces of junk that effect the signal coming from the MAF. Good for VERY few ponies (3-5rwhp) in certain instances...

This unit will NOT adjust your timing...

I also love how they say installation of aftermarket chips require soldering your ECU... BWAHAHAHA!!

Get a Steeda timing adjuster and be done with it...

Damn those things are so cheap, I'd pay like 10 bucks if that for 3-5 ponies

but I dont really trust those azzholes, If it changes the signal from the maf screw it I already bought a bigger MAF

Why would you say that you can't bump timing. You have two ways you can do it; chip and timing adjuster. UPR and Roush sell the t/a for about $99, Steeda has one for about $150, and you can get a chip from various companies for about $250. True they are quite a bit more then the piece of crap fake chips on Ebay, but they work.

I meant for the price of those lame 5 dollar chips, I know I can bump timing if I spend the 100 plus bucks you just listed

Those chips are a rip even at $5!!! All those people do is put an A.I.C. in the refridgerator, cool it to 32 degrees and then you take an OHM's reading at the AIC. say if you get .33 Ohms, you go to radioshack and buy a package of 5 .33 Ohm resitors for .50 cent and plug it into the wireing harness that connects to the AIC. All this does is tell the computer that it's 32 degrees inlet temperature so your motor runs richer and it advances the timing a little because the ECU thinks it's 32 degrees outside. It'll lead to poor gas mileage, eventually fouled plugs, and probaly mess up your O2's over a period of time which I believe are about $60 a piece. Is it worth it! Just remeber, you always get what you pay for!
