Been looking on EBAY and they have performance chips for vl N/As for cheap. Are they worth getting if you have extractors and an exhaust system?

I got a Stage 3 chip. Added about 9rwkw and a lot of accelerartion but a mate did it and got like 1rwkw and no difference. Just depends which one you buy.

i have looked at a few of these chips, about all they do is add some extra timing into the maps. you would be far better off to advance the distrubutor to 20deg (extra 5 deg) and run 95-98 octane. effectively the same thing, but no extra cost involved.

What if i had the chip also along with advance timing, always use premium unleaded.
