I have been told a few times by friends to chip my car because it was awesome for them to put a chip in their cars and gain all this horse power. This sounds like a bad idea to me and not a safe one. Please tell me I am right. Post #: 1

Its usless... Chipping an ECU is different... you put it on a dyno and you take the stock 'chip' and you retune it. That costs a decent amount... _____________________________ These cranks are made for walkin'''', and thats just what they''''ll do, one of these days these cranks are gonna walk all over you (in reply to v8eater) Post #: 4

Its just as stupid as those 'turbbonator' things. _____________________________ These cranks are made for walkin'''', and thats just what they''''ll do, one of these days these cranks are gonna walk all over you (in reply to v8eater) Post #: 6
