Default supposed performance chip

So I found this "chip" on ebay claims to be able to do some outstanding things but it sounds and looks a bit unorthodox. Heres the link to the auction, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-Truck-Parts-Accessories__PERFORMANCE-CHIP-CHEVROLET-MONTE-CARLO-1995-2007-2003_W0QQitemZ200307131514QQadiZ2865QQadnZCarQ20Q2 6Q20TruckQ20PartsQ20Q26Q20AccessoriesQQcmdZViewIte mQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item 200307131514&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkpar ms=65%3A2|39%3A1|240%3A1318
Does anyone know if this is a hoax or what exactly it does if anything? It just all sounds to good to be true, sorry if I put this in the wrong section I didnt know where I should have.

Wow!!! 100 Horsepower and 30 MPG increase ??!!??


If only that was any where near believable =|

Sorry, but that can't be true even if it cost 500 dollars. To get that sort of gain i don't even know how much you have to do to your car.

But, I really don't know much about chips and what not so it could be that it gives you some power or better mileage. Stick around to see what the other members have to say.

Dont waste your money. If you are looking to chip your monte look into a reprogrammed PCM or a tuner. They are obviously going to cost more money but they actually work.

lol thats what I thought to but the way I look at it im young and theres still a lot I dont know about maybe theres some crazy new thing I dont know about but I definitely assumed it was BS. Ive seen a lot of reprogrammed PCM's but they ask all kinds of questions I dont really understand to be honest lol. I dont plan to do any hard modifications performance wise for awhile just little things guess I need to start searching the site for discussions on the reprogrammed PCM's lol, I love this site has everything I need

Yea your better off waiting till last to reprogram. All it does is change some of the limiters and such, and mabye adds a little fuel. The programmer you looked at, all it will do is restrict fuel flow, so in turn you loose hp to gain mabye 1-2 more mpg.
