Do those super chips on the Internet really work?

I added a Bully Dog 50 ST Gas Tuner and contrary to others opinions, I do feel an increase in power but most importantly, it resolved the throttle lag issues I have experienced since I got the car. Just my 2 cents.

This one? A good custom Uprev tune costs the same or less than this thing. Why would you buy this?

I also appreciate the extra monitoring capability (gauges) that are not provided by only a tune. I just got it installed last week and have been out of town but I plan to tinker more with it when I am back home.

Have you dynoed it to verify any power gains?

I think I see why your credit is bad. Once you work on it and get $7k sitting around, you're going to blow it on something not-smart and get back into the hole?

Anyway, if you're looking for speed, you need to trade in the Z for a 5.0 Mustang. Just sayin.'

No dyno at this point. Car is about 2 weeks old and so far, I have only added an intake and the tuner. My "***" dyno tells me that there is something more there. Also, to mention, I didn't pay anywhere near $600 for my tuner. More like $300. With the gauge capability, increased throttle response and increased "feel" it was worth my investment.

Once you get some more miles on the car, throw it on the dyno. We'd love to see if those things actually add power. So far you're probably the only one using it.

They do if you get the ones off eBay that use a diode in a secret black box.

More efficient than my VTEC sticker

But less effective then the www.the370z.com sticker! Certified uberHP! I have a dyno sheet to prove it! >.>

When you think of how often you will actually use the extra power, from any modding, is the price ever worth it except for millionaires who have money lying around for just about everything else?

How often would you use that extra power, maybe 1% of the time? How much of the mileage on your car came from when you were using that extra power? To consider saving $7k for a 2009 is midboggling to a poor simple man.

Clicked on thread thinking it was an early April Fool's joke

Also could easily substitute "super chips" with "penis enlargement pills" in the thread title for more lulz
