Do a search on e-bay. No idea how good they are but the one I put on my Jeep Grand Cherokee gives me a lot more power and 1-2 MPG better gas mileage.

those things are full of ****...don't bother.
if a simple chip can make 60hp, car manufacturers would be out of business.

I have learned from past experiences... that if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is... 60 hp for $70. Lexus themselves only bumped up 10 hp from 98 to 99 year models charging thousands back then...
