It's a crappy resistor in a box that tricks the computer into thinking the incoming air charge is a bit colder.

It's not a chip, programmer, or anything. It's a hack to fool the computer. You'll gain an immeasurable amount of power.

Look at there eBay page:

PERFORMANCE CHIP FUEL SAVER CHEVY CARS TRUCKS AND SUV'S ALL MODELS 1986-2013 MOD | eBay

I put the following vehicle into their part selection chart: 1955 Buick Special with a 4.3L V-8 and low and behold, they have a "chip" that will improve the ECM of my mythical 1995 Buick!

Snake oil - the only thing it might do for you is light the Service Engine Soon like

Come down to the v10 forum, and read the threads about tuners.

Crazyrwe,
Try 5 Star tunes, for the V10, they are very well liked by folks on the forums. They seem to have V10 performance all dialed in.
