the official motto is if you can't afford the risks of modding then don't do it.

If you just want a "chip" I'll sell you a dorito. It'll probably give you more WHP than that crap.
I am surprised these chips don't work, from what I've seen the makers claim. I found a few sites and manufacturers that claim they make them for the Mazda3 and the chips are supposed to raise HP and maybe even gas mileage. I'm interested to learn as much as I can about them because I really don't understand how they operate. From what I have seen, they basically override the factory puter and give a better air to gas ratio. I'm trying to sort the claims from the truth, and save my $$ if they are truely bogus. At least a CAI I can understand, and guys have said the CAI's do help boost HP a certain %. I sure would like to hear exactly why they don't work from anyone who has first hand knowledge using any of these "chip" type products. I am posting a website or 2 to show what I am looking at. If they truely are crap, I thank you for saving me the trouble!
