If you are reading this, you are probably thinking of buying or already bought a "performance chip"

 

Let me lay it out for you all straight.

 

 

All the sellers who state 20-80 HP increases are lying like no tomorrow. Those that state upto 25MPG, same thing.

 

Bottom line, if it has two wires coming out and it cost less than $100 your going to get ripped of. Trust me, I bought several of them for testing and they are all the same resistor. Usually 33k OHM found at radio shack for $.99 a pack of five.

 

A real chip costs well over $150 and usually connects to your OBD plug or directly wires into your ECM. Some brands include Bully Dog, JET, HyperTech and Edge.

 

A resistor on your air temperature sensor wire will give a little better torque and HP on some cars not others.

 

I have purchased three different chips and tested them on  a Nissan Frontier 3.3L and a Chevy Colorado 2.8L. The basic resistor works on the Nissan giving better throttle response and a little HP. Not on the Colorado though.

 

 

 

 

Believe me or dont, dont say I didnt warn you.
