Yeah and my Flux Capacitor gives me and additional 117whp up to 12k rpms.

No chip like that is going to do anything except make your wallet thinner. This is just like all the crappy tornado intake things that gain hp and save gas which is BS.

Think about it, even with a full EMS professionally tuned you might get 20-30whp with bolt ons...

I don’t know how these companies get away with blatant false advertising? Some of the ones on ebay claim +100 hp, lol.

So to sum things up do not waste you money on these, they are the snake oil of the modern day!

The MSRP is $399.99 what a steal at $69...

But if the OP is looking for some extra HP from tuning, I'd recommend an APXI Vtec controller, allowing the tuner to make some fuel adjustments and VTEC engagement points for some true power gains. Cheaper than standalone ECU

There are gains to be had for sure...at a reasonable price as well. Not as much tuning parameters as a stand alone ECU, but still pretty good for the price. The trouble as always is finding a good tuner
