i've noticed several ECU chips being advertised in different places, but are they really worth it ? they sound too good to be true, that is, increase horsepower AND mpg's in just 15 minutes for 70 bucks .. ??
does everyone have one of these except me ? am i that late to the "party" ? just wanted to ask for anyones two cents worth on the subject. thanks to one and all in advance. -al

you should get something to tune with for anything more than intake / exhaust.

hell just getting a piggyback on a stock car will probably gain you >10 hp and some mpgs as well
