Cheap Chips


This is out of pure curiosity, I do not have any desire to put one of these on my car...Do those cheap "racing chips" on eBay do anything at all? Like Ive seen some that I know are bs, but there is one called GorillaChips that I heard actually helped a little...very little.

no-no


Most of those chips aren't really chips, they are resistors. You put a resistor in the temp circuit that controls the "choke" feature on injected engines and the computer reads that the engine never warms up, and never shuts off the "choke," and the engine runs rich. It doesn't really screw-up anything but your gas mileage but it isn't very effective unless you are running an enlarged intake, and then, not much.
