[in the works]

does any one think that this chip will work or could it be just another cheap rip off Increase horsepower, add up to 22+ horsepower Improve Power and Throttle Response

Rip off.

Check ebay, I bet you'll find that same piece of junk with a different name on it for even CHEAPER! lol

[contrapaul]

I just sang a song about rip-off's, sorry you couldn't hear it

[brapple]

all together now, it it sounds to good to be true it most likely is ....


the hp "chip" is often just a cheap radio shack resistor thats worth $0.30 and it has been proven to loose power ...

[world-insight]

all it does is make your car think your are bringing in extremely cold. air doesn't really help with power and your gas mileage will go down the drain.

those "chips" are just a resitor that you plug into your Air Intake Temp sensor. Theres a reason that your car wants to know what temp the incoming air is, telling it somthing different is not a good idea.

An actual performance chip like a super chip, jet chip, diablo chip, or a programmer like an xcal are different. They talk to the cars ecu to alter your fuel and spark curves. These are the correct and much safer way to alter your computer. These will give more power while matining safe running conditions, provieded you have the correct programming for your mods/setup.

I have a Superchip. I was going to put it on Ebay, but if you are interested in it, PM me your engine code and I'll confirm with Superchips that it's the right chip for you. Your engine code is printed on the sticker on your engine computer. The computer is located on the floor underneath the dash on the passenger side.

According to Superchips website, the chip is good for any 2.5L Cougar from 1999-2002. Gains are +12HP +18ft/lb. MSRP is $265.00 but I'll take the best offer, hence Ebay. PM me with your engine code to confirm.
