    also notice that "dyno graph" is for a v-8 , a 4cyl , will see less gains . also its not a chip , its a resistor , that goes on your air temp sensor , that sends a signal for your engine to run lean . this is not good in the long run , running lean can cause a number of internal engine problems like : scorched pistons , burnt valves , and even ring problems . i bet if you get one , put new plugs in , within 1000 miles when you pull your plugs , theyll be white as paper. thats also why it saves your gas . b/c your mixture is leaned out to the max. if you insist though , you can pick up the same resistor at radioshack for .50 cents.

    LOL. Don't sell a 20 hp chip for 25 dollars. Sell 100 hp chips for 125 bucks! 0.8 hp per dollar. ROFL Or better yet 200 hp chips for 250 bucks!!

    hahaha Its that ol' infamous scam again. The original one was the "20 horsepower speed chip". Its a hoax. They say that once you install the module you'll gain power. And when it doesn't you're tempted to want to open the unit up to fix it. However, they know once you open it up, you'll find a simple resistor and realize you've been scammed so they make up this disclaimer about voiding the warranty it you open it up. Just save yourself money and trouble and don't buy it. LOL Besides, if it were that effective, wouldn't the dealer install it from the factory? hahaha

    Why do you need commission? You can act as a competitor seller of these things. When one sells higher than the other you sell cheaper and when its hits a certain low, you both raise prices again. hahaha

    yeah its very nice to dyno a freaking 5.7L v8 and then claim that it will do the same for a 1.8L 4 cyl. hehe this at best can give you 1 - 2 hp and will damamge your internals in the long run
