I just seen something advertised on EBAY called a +20HP Speedchip/resistorchip for Sunfire/cavalier and had to deal with the ECU system......this sounds like S**T but I could be wrong.....any body have any answers if this things it just garbage or not? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/20HP-SPEEDCHIP-SUNBIRD-SUNFIRE-CAVALIER-COBALT_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ38634QQitemZ8008023111QQrdZ1

On 3rd Gen J-bodies, 96+ specifically, you can not chip the OBDII computer. That is garbage. Do not buy it. Enough said...

NJHK is right its junk! Plus look at this, what it basically does it fool the computer into dumping more gas in for NO reason. This in-turn makes your car run worse. Look at the intall of this "speedchip" wouldn't a good reputable company make a product you just dont jam into a contector? Little more fit and finish?

another way to look at it is this.

If it really provided +20HP, wouldn't it be a lot more expensive.

I've spent roughly $300.00 and I'm probably still about 5hp below that gain.
Header, and exhaust.

There is no science behind that, it's a single resistor that you can get a radioshack for less than a buck.
