Chips?

[RichCresci]

I tried doing some searching but came up with inconclusive results. Has anyone had any experience with chips such as this one?

I'm not looking for 25 mpg's, but 35 extra hp and some extra torque would be nice on the 4.0. Has anyone used any of the various kinds out there?

Thanks, Rich

Those are total gimmiks, stear clear of them. If you want some new power, get yourself a Cold air intake, a catback exhaust, and a Tune. from hensonperformance.com

^ What he said. A tune alone won't net you 35hp, but a tune/exhuast/CAI should give you a noticable gain.

I would guess that a TUNE / EXHAUST / INTAKE on a 4.0 would possibly net like 25 HP maybe a small chunk more ?

Save the chips for the salsa. Programmer is one thing everyone agrees on.

I bet it would net pretty close to that, maybe more? I was just referring that a tune alone wouldn't do that(+35hp).

I've never heard of Fuel-Maxx, but it seems extremely cheap.
Volo Performance makes a variety of different chips ranging from a fuel saver to high performance. These are 20 MHZ microprocessors that 'soft flash' the ECM.
I've had the FS-2 for a while now and it's everything it's supposed to be. They cost more ($89.95), but stand behind their product 100%.

its not even a chip. I bought one a couple years ago for a jeep i had and all it was it a resistor and a piece of paper that says to fold it and plug it into you MAF sensor. It says it can also cause a check engine light to come on. I still have it as a bookmark in the repair manual.

Not sure what he's referring to, but those el cheapo chips you referenced are junk too. You get what you pay for in the tuning game.
