Question Advice for a youngin'?

I just recently got my Dodge, and I found a chip for it at www.horsepowerchips.com/ram for $69.99 and it sounds too good to be true. If anyone has any knowledge about this it'd be great, thanks.

RUN!! run as far and as fast as you can!! lol yeah bro that thing looks like a rip off and a half!! stay away from crap like that. anything that makes over the top claims like 50+ horsepower for only 70 bucks screams POS! unforrunately in the automotive world you get what you pay for!!

superchip or diablo are the only chips you should consider.

seriously though, the first performance mod you should be doing is a superchip or diablo. if you have a 2003 (on my phone, cant see sigs) a superchip flaspaq 3815 is your best bet, can be had for under $200 used easy nowadays. if you got 2004 or newer, SC 3815 will still do you good, but SC is about to release some sick trans control options available on the 3865, about $300-$325. dollars to power, you really can't beat a programmer
