Default computer chip question

I have just purchased a SLR Motorsports computer chip for my 2003 Mustang GT. It hasnt arrived yet, but I just wanted to know if anyone has used this chip before and if so, what kind of actual performance to expect out of it. The website has a money back guarantee of at least 50 horsepower and 50 torque gain and 3-6 miles per gallon increase. Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Well, they lied to you and it looks like they screwed you out of $70 too--you didn't buy a "chip", you bought a resistor that goes in series with the IAT sensor and tells the computer that the air is colder than it really is--thing is that at WOT our cars run a bit rich anyway--so this "chip" should really mess things up.

Get your money back--good luck on that too...
