Chip? Hondata?

What's the skinny with computer performance with our cars? Any simple upgrade?

Thanks all!

Gunnar

it doesnt work to give your car more power. I hate to break it to you but the CL isnt exactly a performance machine and/or responsive to mods

a chip usually works best for a boosted car since it can change up the air/fuel ratio/turn up the boost.

your best best for some performance gains would be I/H/E but then you'll be dropping some $$$ for +5hp at best. Just slap on a JDM sticker for that :gheylaugh:

Hondata's the only company that makes "chips" for our cars that actually do anything, but like klepto said, it's not going to do much for you if your car doesn't have any mods to take advantage of
