It should make your fans come on sooner and probably change the shift points in the trans to make it feel more sportier. Just don't look for a hp gain. 100 bucks is not bad but the most I would spend.

I used one. There is a slight performance increase. You will notice that the shifts are a crisper and faster, faster throttle response, and runs cooler in summer time (fans come on sooner). After I installed the program and drove it for a few weeks, I took it off. After driving a few hours, I realized that the car felt lazy. I reinstalled it. The program for 100 bucks is definitely worth it.

Just don't mess with the rev limiter like I did tho. . . I over revved and broke a spring and now I'm rebuilding the engine....
