Anyone have experience with aftermarket chips?

I have seen some chips here and elsewhere claiming big HP increases (numbers too big for me to believe). Interested in any input or insites anyone may have. Also exhaust improvements. I was at a local muffler shop and it doesn't look like alot of options other than removing the resonator and putting some high flow mufflers. Of course my buddy who owns the shop said if you really want to wake it up you should turbo it or supercharge it. I told him that probably wasn't happening anytime soon.

Some chips from Acurazine? There have not been any members with performance chips with our cars. They simply don't exist or work.
Exhaust work won't yield any large gains since the system itself is free flowing from the factory. The largest gains without FI is getting aftermarket headers followed by CAI.

There is no such thing as a chip for the 3.2CL. Don't fall for the HP gimmick. Only way to get good HP and TQ is to get some good Headers, CAI and a Supercharger. Anything other than that is a farce.
