Anyone ever try that Tweaked Proformance Chip thing that is a link at the top of some pages here? And if so, does it work? I am looking to get a little more "Umph" out of my swift and I need ideas. I saw that cold air intake design but I am still a little foggy on how to do it. Anyone who has done it or who has some ideas please let me know
Thanks

most likely its a resistor hidden in a box...really just a scam for money like the turbonator or vortex thing you put in your intake....if you want more umph dont be cheap about it because it will just cause you problems (for example a chip like that will eff up the engine because of all the gas being dumped in)......what CAI design? that picture that denis drew? not really exact or detailed or a working design for that matter....but an intake and exhaust will give you more umph

yeah, i was thinking it was probably one of those 20cent radioshack resistors in a box.
You can make your own CAI and get a catback exhaust for more umph for less then $300USD

my suggestion is to talk to AveoSam and pick up one of his CAI's, because they help out a lot...also get an exhaust done, i did mine and it makes a very big difference. to start pick up a better set of spark plugs either NGK Iridiums or E3's. I have E3's right now and i get AMAZING gas mileage with a little more umph, but the NGK's will give you better umph, but not as big gas mileage difference as going from stock to E3's.

I really like NGK products (got the spark plug wires!) but the e3s are rockin'!
