Full Throttle Performance Chip

Hi all,

Please excuse my ignorance on the subject of performance but I found this on Ebay today:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PERFO...item4aa8dab64e

I guess this is a 'Piggyback' chip? Seems too good to be true especially for the price. Do you these actually do anything? My SC400 is 1992 and totally stock. Any feedback would be appreciated.

You would gain more performance by taking a big crap, or making a coke bottle intake system.

BFI, exhaust, tune-up...thats all you need unless you want to bite the big one and go f/i.

LOL!! I figured as much. I've just got everything buttoned up mechanically on the car. The funds are being directed towards suspension upgrades at the moment and then YES, I wanna go fast

All that is, is a resistor from radio shack that keeps ur air temp sensor at a constant temp to all more air. It gives you about .5 hp and takes away 3mpg.

Just go BFI
