This has probably been asked several times before, but here goes. I just got off of EBAY after looking at numerous auctions for "chips" that do everything from increase HP to increase mileage etc, etc. They range in price from
.99cents to whatever they think you will pay and then charge an exorbitant amount for shipping. I guess my question, are these things any good or worth the effort?

No the are false advertisments... go to www.bamachips.com, most people on here this tuner.
 






Check out Bamachips.com for the X-cal tuner. You can load up to three tunes to your car, pretty nice.
 






Some of those things on EBay are actually a resistor which goes in series with the engine coolant temperature sensor to trick your PCM into thinking that your engine is cold. It will give you a rich mixture, and might increase horsepower, but will sacrifice gas mileage. Here is the resistance chart:

Thanks, that is exactly the info that I wanted.
 






If interested I am a vendor on these forums. I use SCT tuning software as well.
