jawdropper performance chip

i was searching through parts on ebay for my 1995 ford f 150 4x4 302 5 speed and i saw the jawdropper performance chips and read about them. are they as good as they claim to be or are they a scam they claim up to 100 gained horsepower and 73 ft lbs of torque for bigger displacement engines and up to 30% fuel savings and other fuel saving and idlilng stuff what is everyones opinion on these?

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.

Rather than buy a chip, do what they do. Run premium fuel and advance your timing.
