I had one of those chips, please don't waste your money on that crap, they do nothing, even dynoed my car and no difference, was so pissed I wrote a letter to Hypertech telling them how F*****their product was. Put the stock B4C chip back in and the car ran a lot better. Spend your money on something else. About the only thing that chip did was turn my fans on eariler. Whop de do!!

Only difference I noticed was that my fans came on early, and it gave me a **** load of knock retard. Definatley not worth it.

I have numerous runs with and without that chip and I have recorded NO difference whatsoever. All it does is keep the car cooler in the summer temp wise...

I have that chip, got it free when I bought the car. I totally agree with with ThirdGenZ28 92, about all I can say it does is keep the car running cool. If you can get one as cheap as I got mine go for it.

I actually got my thermomaster chip at a swap meet for $10. I really could'nt notice power increase like they say but my fans come on much earlier and also car shifts much better. It now gets 2nd gear scratch every time and shifts much harder into 3rd at WOT. I agree not to spend full price but if you can find a cheap deal go for it.
