nothing, if the car is a stock auto, it will give you about 5hp and make the car run a little funky, where if you have a modded 420a... dont put it on, lots of kids on 2g nt.com had their cars buck on acel. wit it on.

It moddifys the map sensor to read different voltages so it can lean the car out and give you more performance. But you can do that for free by gutting the cayt. The rear o2 sensor will read that the motor is running too rich and lean it out where really the car is running normal, only down side is that it will throw a cel.

sorry about your chip but all i hear is their junk. some of these ploys to increase horsepower is no more than a resistor that they charge 20 bucks for. someones making big bucks off of hard working people. And i hate them all.

obx is the best bang for the buck, but the venom is deff way nicer and is much better quality, it breaks down like the stock manifold into two pices to make in install a snap but thats about 700 bucks, the obx flows good, almost as good as the venom but dosent require a batt relocation kit and I have seen them on ebay for about 200 bucks.

Wow people are still selling these stupid resistors, which is really all they are and so nothing. I remember over three years ago finding out that its all they were so me and my buddy just went and got a resistor from electronics shop in school and tryed putting it where the instructions said. And as one should expect, nothing happened that i remember.
