    Ruffles are wavy and hold more oil due to more surface area. :D Flat chips FTW.

    anything that is too good to be true... most likely it is. if that performance chip do add hp to your car it would likly decrease the life span of your car.

    lets take for instance, a turbo kit for a 98-02 corolla http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDMS...ptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories Accessories, this would definitly add horsepower but would you buy it knowing that it would destroy y our engine in a couple of months?

    stick with regular upgrades like cai intakes, exhaust etc...

    Because edible chips are just that more interesting over arguing about why 25 dollar performance chips don't work. :)

    True! btw Cheetos = excellent choice. Chesters $2 bag of cheese fries = horrible!

    Really? I like the kettle chips. I can put away a whole bad in one sitting. The original Lays suck.

    If he was really thinking about keeping the lifespan of the car long then he wouldnt be upgrading it to suck out a couple of hp or so.

    The best thing to do is benchmark dyno your car then get the chip and dyno again OR get lap times before and after.

    Which is exactly why Ruffles are better. They are loaded with much more flavor.

    It's not a leopard, it's a cheetah! Chester Cheetah. Obviously it makes sense because when I think of what is arguably the planet's fastest land animal, I think of a cheese-flavored cornmeal snack.
