nyeh, performance chips i will always disagree in comparison to getting a tune of some sort from dyno or have a program yourself to do the tuning.

i can say from experience its totally worthless. youll get more hp if you advance the distributor 3* then you would if you bought that control modual. and the timing advancement is free

The Venom 400 just tricks the engine to run in cold mode, which dumps in more fuel.

+1 to all the above, if you want a chip because you can't afford a tuning program, then get the SCT 4 bank chip with a couple of custom tunes. I got one and asked for a specific kind of tune, and the car pulls like a beast on the performance tune, especially in the upper RPMs where it kind of seemed to fade a little before the chip. MPG also went up a hair on the economy tune. In short, I'm pleased, and there's a couple of SCT dealers/tuners around here I can go to if I need a quick retune.
