Avoid.

Do some Google searching on them if you like, but the concensus is that there is NO chip for OBDI engines that will do anything whatsoever.

if it sounds too good to be true... it probably is. There's a lot of 'performance chips' on ebay that are nothing more than a resistor that you put inline with the O2 sensor

Don't waste your hard earned cash. Put that money towards tune-up parts.

i see that u are not clear on the subject of i hope you get more performance in the quest for that i hope you start using the stuff you should have learned in grade school if not it just shows that maybe the education system was not for you i hope you take this with a grain of salt because it was just to illustrate and to show you how hard it is to not understand the points that are or may be important.
