    LOL ok so i took a Midol and I'm ok now. For real though, performance chips won't work on our cars. Those ones on ebay are nothing but resistors and do nothing for performance.

    Dude, There is no turn key, bolt on solution. Learn a little about your vehicle. Use search for mega squirt and OBD1.

    Pringles ftw!

    BTW, in the FS post there has been a Jet performance tuned ECU for sale by justanothermike a while ago. Searched for it but couldn't find any info about it. What happened to that ECU that it was possible to chip it? Can anybody tell anything about it?
