Power chips, for the most, are a waste of money. The typical power chip will adjust the MAT sensor to read cold, making the car run rich driving MPG down and accomplish little in performance.

dont do it, waste of money! get a REAL tune from either HPT or Trifecta. Find a tuner that lives near you and go from there

It's likely best to contact the seller/manufacturer of the chip for the install instructions.
