I still wouldnt trust it. The numbers sound right (3hp) but at what cost...blah. I doubt it does what it says it does.

It says:

"On this chip, the RPM limiter was raised to 8500 RPM's and VTEC activation is set to 5000 RPMs."

Now really... Does that sound like it was programmed for an f22 to you?

You might as well buy one of those $69 superchargers while your at it.

Sorry, I didn't intend for the comment to be rude.

Chips like those... I wouldn't trust them, although they're probably better than the "other" chips sold on eBay. There's no telling what kind of mess they made of the fuel/ignition maps.

Simply raising your rev limiter is not a wise idea. F22's aren't going to making power that high up without major work, not to mention they're not going to be able to handle those kinds of rpms.

The stock VTEC engagment is variable, and activates lower than 5000 rpms.

Personally, I think it sounds like a chip for H22's.

I'm looking for a chip for my F22b2 non-VTEC also... Any suggestions?

Was looking at the Hondata or Spoon chips, but:
1.) Can't find one on Ebay for my engine
2.) Not sure which is the best, I don't want to buy a cheap-O one
