Cheap chip
I have been looking at mods for my Ranger 1993 2.3l 4banger. I was considering a chip, but found on ebay a different option. Its a wire that you stuff in there somewhere that tricks the computer to thinking the outside air temp is like 61 degrees. Check it out.
http://www.ebay.com item number 8020323471 (paste into search box)
Will this do what they claim it will do? Will it wreck my engine? Anyone else use this method instead of a 200.00 chip?

With a real chip you're looking at a 8-12% horsepower gain and a 10-15% torque gain. Plus it removes torque reduction from Ford's tuning, raises the speed limiter and the rev limiter, firms up the shifts and optimizes shift patterns. Any real chip isn't going to run $29.95. The $29.95 "chip" is a 10 cent resister with wiring attached that simply makes your fuel overfuel combustion.
