Should I install Performance Chip??????

Here's the deal, I bought the Precision Engineered Performance Chip and I'm having second thoughts about installing it. The reason being is b/c the thing was only $40. $40 for a chip sounded real goodat first, but then I started thinking will it even do what they say it will? Is anyone familiar with the Precision Chip?? Or even has it installed. What should I do, Install it or let it collect some dust?

i'm not familiar with the one you're talking about but the only one i know of that was developed hand in hand with other tl'ers is the unichip, and even that was a bit of a waste according to other members. i don't even see them for sale anymore.

do yourself a favor and save the money for a vafc2 and dyno-tuning if you want a computer enhancer, but even that won't do much for you without other mods.

There is only one chip right now for our cars (n/a), the Unichip. All others are junk.

ps I have a Tornado to sell you too.

From what I understand is that Hondata on works on iVtec engines that have adjustable cams or something.

Useless. I remember reading that someone lost power after installing it.
