performance chip

I've noticed a lot of you guys have performance chips in your cars. I've spent a lot of time looking, but haven't found anything for my application. Wonder how the rest of you found what you're using. Is it for another vehicle? What would you advise?

You don't need too. On a optra with a good cat-back, sri, ud pulley, they only got 1whp with a piggy back.

WHo has one anyways? And why did they pay$290 for a resistor?

Seriously though, the ECU adapts and learns the engine. AKA, you add aCAI, it learns that. Then you add a UD Pully, hey it adapts again. You add a Simi-truck.... ok, so any car will adapt to that. Adapt to a new shape, that is
