    Ive only heard that chips dont do jack for our trucks. There a waste of money!
    And Ive never seen actual proof that one works. So that should tell you something..

    I have 2 issues, I was looking at the gain in hp because I seem to have to really step on gas to get the truck moving especially going over speed bumps. 2 I was hoping that the 4-7 mpg increase was at least half true. I figured if I could improve both of these with a chip that would be great. I'm glad I posted this question, doesn't seem like it works from your comments.

    get teh chipz its gives you likes 80 whp and there will be 72 virgins waiting for you in heaven.

    But seriously, chips dont do anything except wreck your trucks. If you want power, get a blower, or a Tundra.
