Default Chip, yes once again

This chip looks legit, and is making crazy accusations about horsepower, need your guys opinion on it, better then that bogus slr chip or not.

Dude, there is not going to be a chip that does anything legit for this car. If you must have more HP, get nitrous.

Yes indeed it would. But you would actually get something for your money.

But there is no magic chip that is going to give you any real performance gain. Chips are really used to optomize other modifications, like turbos with downpipes and opened up exhausts, or hotter cams. They adjust spark and fuel curves to match the upgrades. Aftermarket companies have done a great job marketing chips as a cheap and easy route to increased power or change shift points. If you have a turbodiesel pickup truck, sure, there could be some gains. But just hacking the software of a non-aspirated small 6 isn't going to do much. Sorry!
