Acura chip?

So my dad comes home and says "install this" and places it on my desk

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33597


Is this legit or is my dad a ricer?

That depends on if you like your car or not.

LOL

This is one of those resistors that tricks your car into thinking the engine isnt fully warmed up, and to run a little richer. Waste of $$$
