Default ebay (as usual)

i have read some post on the speed chips frome ebay and some say they work.... others dont. So i was just wonderin, i ordered a flip flop trunk from someone off ebay and it comes with a free speed chip, so i want to know if its even worth going through the troublle to hook it up..... does it really make a difference?

The very fact you got the chip for free when you bought a flip trunk should tell you one simple thing...its junk! At least JET tries to scam people the right way...

Those chips are garbage, they used to sell them for $20, now they can't give them away. It won't do anything for your car what so ever.

its only a resistor from Radioshack, u can get them 5 for a buck, they add little power and torque but its really bad for the motor!!!
