it depends on wich one it is. if it tunes the computer its probably worth it, but if it is just a resistor you hard wire in then avoid it like a honda(aka the plague)

NO. Don't get it. I don't even have to know what company is selling it to let you know it is a scam. The company themselves, which is probably just some dude that made up a webpage, is selling you a resistor in a fancy box, or something even more retarded. There's no reason and no advantage to "chipping" a vehicle unless it has other mods done to it that require a change in the computer to run properly. Some cars do respond to chipping, but they are mostly turbocharged with factory variable electronic boost control, like a superduty or a turbo golf.

For that cheap... it is a hoax.

I'd aggree with 85Ranger. However there are companies like superchips or Diablo sport that make a great handheld programmer. Without Hard mods like head work or free flowing exhaust, HP increases may be limited (10-15). As you continue to modify your rig, you can download a new "tune" to take advantage of the increased airflow.
