Performance Chip on Ebay
i do know that these stupid little plastic performance chip are nothing more than a scam, but what really amazes me is that how in the blue hell do these members have so many positive feedbacks???
also, isnt this illegal? they say that it can increase your HP by alot, but in reality it doesnt do shit. isnt that called false advertising? here is one member that sells these things. read the description of the item. it's freaking hilarious! http://www.ebay.com/sch/fuelmaxx/m.h...&_trksid=p3692 |

Or idiots just experience a placebo effect. Also, no its not false advertising because its not regulated, much like nutritional supplements

Probably placebo.
People believe removing a sway bar on stock springs dramatically increases ride quality. Cones in a header dramatically increases torque as well.
