    Performance Chips?

    Alright, whats with all these performance chips out there?? There are tons of ebay sellers that sell performance chips for your car that says it will add aaaall this horsepower and MPG saving. There is no way that is true! If it was, they would not sell so cheap!! If you want to know what i am looking at, go to ebay and type in "dodge charger chip". .....as i own a Dodge Charger R/T and was looking at some stuff.

    If someone could please get back to me and explain what seems to be complete bull****, please do!! Thanks a ton!!

    It is most likely a resistor. Yep a resistor, you unplug your air ratio sensor then jam this resistor in the plug.............and WALA instant horsepower and more gas mileage than you can fathom. Pure BS.

    i mean, i'm just wondering if they do ANYTHING at ALL.....because each seller offers a great warranty on returns even if your not satisfied, but seriously, if i were to buy one, would it even give me the slightest increase in HP or gas mileage? .....i doubt it

    Again... I wouldn't do it...

    I highly doubt you will see any measurable difference, and you risk throwing codes, etc...

    And offering a great warranty and honoring a great warranty are not the same - given the shady nature of the product, I wouldn't put myself in a position to test the difference.

    Put it this way, there are plenty of SERIOUS engine builders on this site and not one uses these scam devices. Every single one does use a Diablo Sport Predator though.....

    I have wasted a few minutes of my life once... ONCE, just due to curiosity (the kind that killed the cat) wanting to see what kind of feedback these people get on these smoke n mirror devices...
    It is amusing to say the least how people can tell the difference in their cars power suddenly when they install these... or some can't really tell the difference but give positive feedback anyway... etc.

    I haven't been bored enough since that one time to read any more of them.

    Bottom line? These products prove PT Barnum was right even today about there being a sucker born every minute. Well, maybe with today's population and stupid people breeding so much maybe more like every second today.

    The "Chips the OP is talking about on EBay aren't Hypertech or any other brand, or for that matter really a chip. They are as was stated resistors that fool the ECU into accepting a different than actual reading and "supercharge" your car... They are bogus thru and thru.

    I'd personally be afraid to put one on ANY car I own...
