Default Redline Chips?

I've seen Redline Chips all over ebay, and i've read the reviews and they dont seem that bad. Other threads say to avoid ebay chips at all costs, but does anyone have any experiences with Redline Chips?

The Redline Chip Website: http://redlinepowerchip.com/

Oh, and does anyone know any websites that sell good, fairly cheap chips for Civics? Thanks alot!

i wouldnt bother with it if it was me, it could potentially damage your car b/c it is basically modifying the ecu with a blind tune that could cause engine damage.

remember this, that every car is different and will react different with different mods, what may work on my car might not work on yours and vice versa

not jus that its very unsafe if u plan on modifying the vehicle, it would be an unwise and unsafe idea to say the least

chipping an ECU is a great idea.....but you need a tuner and a dyno. All tunes are different. We can both be running the exact same modifications on our cars, with the SAME engines........and both get tuned with the same software......and they will both be different. That chip is a bad idea. Dont cheap out.

lol yeah i knew the price was too good to be true. So what are some good chips that i should look into?

I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and i dont know of any shops nearby that have a dyno I'm gonna need some fuel mapping soon because i've never redone my fuel map, and i have a cam, intake, fuel rail, and a header, and soon to be a catback exhaust, intake manifold and throttle body. Anyone know someplace in the U.P. that had a dyno?
