Everyone says they are off the shelf garbage. Has anyone actully used one and had good results? If so, which one and what did you notice?

Actualy i took my fast chip out about 3 weeks ago for smog and put my stock chip in and i did notice a difference in acceleration and power. But i dont think it is worth the 200+ dollars for one i paid 40 for mine because a friend was selling his 3.1 bird and the chip i have sells for about 200 so i got a good deal. Personaly i think putting a crank pully on my car was the best mod i did.

It will lesson the rotating mass of the crank giving you more power i also noticed a good increase in gas milage. I went from 220 per tank to 260-300 miles per tank.
