Um no.
Thats right up there with the $0.49 resistor 'chip' mod thats
sold on eBay for $9.99. The ad states it all....


STAGE 3 Surge/O2 Chip is a fully adjustable, programmed performance control unit designed for all vehicle fitted with ECU, simply wires inline with the factory harness of the IAT (Intake Air Temperature) sensor and into the plug of Oxygen sensor(s) in the exhaust. You will receive crisp acceleration, much more horsepower and torque, lower quarter mile times and surprisingly increased throttle response. Installation is easy, no - special tools or expertise required. Gain +15-40 additional HP, and extremely dynamic acceleration by up to 30 % in contrast to factory engine performance. It works in conjunction with stock ECU and will not affect engine reliability or endurance. Original ECU program is in process, but the signal of STAGE 3 is overwriting it in each microsecond resulting richer air/fuel ratio, accordingly delivering peak horsepower, torque and acceleration.


It just modifys what the PCM thinks the IAT is
from what the O2 sensor readings are????
WHY????
And it adjusts the PCM parameters how????

We need to have a sticky for all the gimicks that say they can add such and such hp for our Mustangs. That way newbies that come in here know to stay away from those products.
