Default ECU chipping

Well Ive got a whole bunch of questions here, First off I have a 94 civic si with IHE.......Ive been thinking about getting my ecu chipped. Although im not sure that in this stage it will benifit me or not? Ive also heard alot of weird things can happen when you **** around with your ecu, horible gas milege, illegal emmsions etc.
Where can I get this done? How much will it cost? Where will there be gains? hp/torq?
Thanks alot

in your case, you're better off staying stock. benefits can range from vtec/rev limit point changes to overall ignition/fuel map changes. yes downside of many not matched programs to the setup are the gas mileage and emission problems.

check my sig , cost range from $35 to 165US depending on what you need.

gains on mild programs are in about 1-5whp range. (XS engineering to name just one)

check out few dynos of my buddys setup (i/h/e) on d16z6, chips range from D15b to b18c programs.

I'd say not worth it.
