I paid a guy I know like $90 to tune a chip specifically for my car. This is what you need to do, not buy one off the shelf. This involves driving with the computer connected to the car and then modifying the chip based on the data, then doing this several times till you get the optimum setup. This was good for about 2 tenths for me, which is pretty good bang for the buck I would say
