Lol, it's sold by vivid racing. This was tested on IS, but according to them they make them for all GS.

I have a buddy who works for Vivid. I asked him about this tuning for the 2GS platform (specifically my '99 GS400), and he said this:
So, there you have it!
There's a "port auto flash" available. It uploads small bits of code to the ECU and the TCU. Helps power output and increases transmission shifting performance. However, I can't guarantee that you'll see the gains you're looking for since we've never tested it here. Normally, the only time I sell this version of a tune is to guys with DCT and DSG style gearboxes looking for improved shifting performance and typically they also do a flash tune or piggyback as well.

386 with bolt-ons? I'm going to assume you mean the IS-F, which really has no relevance to this post. Either that, or by "bolt-on" you mean forced induction because there's no way you're seeing 386hp with an I/H/E setup on a 2GS.

That video was funny! More VTEC yo! Haha. I miss my S2000. 
The only way a chip would work is pre OBD. I had an old 87 BMW 325e that I replaced the chip on it. It's actually a computer chip that replaces a factory chip on the ECU. I'm sure all it did was change timing because it required premium gas after install. It did work however. Just like the early Miatas that you could advance timing to get more torque.
