Performance Chip?

I see these things on ebay all the time. They are getting sold CHEAP! When I say cheap i mean $25-$55. Whats the deal? They say that the chip will add 20HP. BTW, if I were to get one off ebay, is it just one chip or am I going to have to buy more than one? They don't really say.

Performance chips are only good for pre 1996 models after that you need to reflash the computer! Keep in mind that performance chips void the warranty, unless you want the burden of engine repairs don't do it. Trust me we can tell if you altered the PCM.

Thumbs up

I agree...keep away from that e-bay crap...

Save up $299 and go for a dhp (digital horsepower) pcm. Skip shifts, 6000rpm redline, and horsepower gains Well worth the investment IMHO.

I'm not sure if they have anything for your car, they might be able to do a program for you, but they mainly program 97+ GPs.

I cant remember the site for them, but 3800 performance sell the DHP pcms www.3800performance.com

fastgpgt,

Please check the date of the thread before resurrecting. If you have an issue to address to members of the forum then you may start a new thread.

I noticed this is at least the third old thread you have raised in two days. The fourth time will be a charm. Thank you for your future cooperation. Thread closed.


POSTING IN CLOSED OR OUTDATED THREADS:
If a thread has been closed, there is probably a logical reason for it. If you feel that the reason(s) for closure of the original thread are unjustified or wish further clarification feel free to contact any member of the moderating team. However, do not start a new thread about another closed thread.

Please avoid posting or voting in outdated threads. It merely clutters up the message board and makes it more difficult for fellow members to sort through the vast amount of information contained on the boards. If you have new and important information to add regarding a past discussion, feel free to start a new thread and if need be, add a link to the original thread.
