Take it from someone that has a Thermomaster Hypertech chip - I paid less than $150.00 from VatoZone for it - ITS JUNK! Maybe 10 more HP (probably more like 2-5) at WOT only.

You must have some money just burning a hole in your pocket.
There are better things you can spend your money on for your car, or wait until you have enough to do a larger project like exhaust.
pcm4less is a supporting vendor on this forum. Alvin could do a chip for you for a lot less money than what you were looking at. You would likely get more gains from it too but don't expect too much with a stock car.

If its in the magazines, and says it gives HP, then it doesnt.
Unless its exhaust, and even then you shouldnt look at the numbers.

Aside from nitrous, there is no such thing as cheap horsepower. How much money are you willing to spend? How much hp do you want?
