i dont see hos a chip can ad 60 horsepower. and even with that kind of power gain you would have to have stronger internals. i wouldnt mess with it, but thats just me.

For some reason I really dislike the way that auction looks. All the flashy colors and a picture of a 'gal? What's that have to do with a chip? To me it looks like a scam and I wouldn't buy it unless you feel like being a guinea pig and than give feedback to all of us :-D

ive heard of those. its a domestic thing. it messes with the shift points and stuff in the auto tranny. plus changing the timing and A/F curves, it could give some decent power, but not on a civic. i wouldnt trust that on my car.

It simply connects directly to your intake sensor, and suddenly your car has Up to 60 Extra horsepower!


If it was that EASY. Biggest BS I heard so far "60 horses"

you guys have to realize thats made for 3-4-500 HP mustangs and cameros. im not sayin it will give that on them either, but to them a 250 shot of N2O isnt really that big. so 60 horses is good, but not huge.
