Default Do chips work?

hey guys, i was thinking about getting a chip for my 04 GT. do you know if this will void my warranty? also, i was told that you can gain about 20 HP from just the chip alone, is this true? will it gain that much on a stock car?

I dont know about the horsepower part but it will void your warranty. You can buy a programmer that sets your computer to racing and when you're done, set it back to the factory setting. You can call the dealer and ask what will void the warranty. They wont void it for asking.

And in RollinThunder's case, a chip would be worth the money if that is the end of your mods. Great example oppourtunity!!!
