Auto Chips....Anyone tried them?
I clicked on an ad on this site, (autochipsdirect.com) and was wondering what everyone thinks...75HP for $60??? Seems like a no brainer, but what exactly does it do??

It can really mess up your engine. They are a NO NO. A tuner is the only way to go.

Snake oil to you, solid gold to them. I think their profit margin is literally the product's weight in gold.
