Default Performance chip

Has anyone used performance chip by fuel maxx. Says 35 add'l hp & more mpg on fuel. Is it a gimmick? Will hp gain be noticeable? Any comments welcomed.
Thanks

35 plus horsepower is a gimmick and a joke. And anything that has chip in the title is a scam since our cars don't even use a chip. Save your money.

No it doesn't. It says "up to 35 hp"... heck, you can say "up to 200 hp" and still only get 1 hp increase.

Fast Cheap Reliable

pick any two you want, you don't get all three.
