I was reading automotive news sites this morning and ran across an article that listed 25 or so add-ons or accessories that are not worth the money spent on them. One was tuning chips. Their article stated the following:
One of my to dos for my Maverick XL was to research a chip that added hp and fuel economy. I've never used a performance chip so I'm not real familiar with them. I guess this would include tuning devices that change the various tunes available on a vehicle. There must be some use for programmable tuning devices since cars/trucks come with several driving modes these days.
So, my question is do they work? Look, I'm not interested in opinion here. We need data that proves the thesis of increased hp and mpg, or data that shows increased hp and mpg is not possible. Data from sites that use various products are more than welcome, data produced by sites that just sell them, doesn't do us much good. Unbiased information would give us all productive information and data to back it up.
TIA!
