Don't it's worthless, they don't do anything the right way, they just make you run rich. If you want a decent chip get crome, hondata, neptune, etc. and get a dyno tune.

You should know just by how cheap those chips are not to buy em. they eat prolly 50% more of your gas. There are a ton of chips out there for a decent amount more money but totally worth it if thats wut u want. Good luck wit that.

Its best to buy a p28 and have it chipped. Better yet get Hondata or Neptune.
