Performance Chip for Acura 3.2 CLS - Does it work?
Anyone have a good and not so expensive chip that actually works that I can put on my CLS? Is it worth it? Does it work? I've seen some for $60, not sure if they are worth it.

Everything on eBay is crap. It's simply a 1¢ resistor that will fuck your car up.

The ECM will eventually compensate. The only way to do this is with a tune after you have done all of your mods....

Can't program the ECU. All you can do is modify the parameters going into the ECU with an external box.
