Default Chip Module worth buying?

I found a chip module on eBay made by a company called "Fast Tuning". Has anyone installed a chip module on a GS 300? So far I have only upgraded to an intake, would the module be worth it on an otherwise stock motor?

Its probably one of those stupid resistors that they tell u to install that makes ur car run rich or lean(i forget which). No its not worth it. Its bad for your car.

Everybody wants a quick and easy horsepower upgrade.

It just doesn't work on the Lexus cars. The ECU is not that easy to hack.

A waste and a fake!

Default Appreciate the input

Well I am glad that I didn't decide to go with the Chip Module then, 35hp sounded a little good to be true, especially for $30.00. I apprecaite the help from everyone.

Yea man I know everyone hates this saying, but it's 99.99% correct ... If it's too good to be true, it probably is

Srt intake with the included ecu will get you 20+ hp at the wheels on your 430 with no other mods. Check out www.Swiftracing.com
