On ebay I found this chip that is supposed to give 20 extra horse power "By fooling your computer and letting it think that you are sucking air at a different temperature. Your computer will respond with increased power!"

Does anyone have an opinion about this? they go for $7.99

Doesn't it seem too good to be true?

It is, so save your cash for something else. :roll:

I can't speak for all of them, however many of those "mods" are just a resistor that's placed inline with (or across) the mass air flow sensor (MAF). They fool the computer into thinking that more air is entering the engine than really is, and the computer adds more fuel to "match." This only works so well, as generally the computer is running the engine the best way possible air/fuel wise, and also the computer keeps an eye on the o2 sensor during normal driving, and thus compentates for the new rich condition by leaning it out a bit. You will only really then have a different when you are at wide open throttle (WOT), and even then I bet it couldn't be measured or felt.

My $0.02.

I figured it probably wasn't all it was cracked up to be.
Thanks for your input.
