Re Chipping Your Car

Does this even work and if so has anybody done it and what were the results? They clam 62+hp and better gas millage.

Heres the link to the guy selling the chip;

eBay Motors: HONDA CIVIC PERFORMANCE CHIP 1989-2008 2005 2006 2007 (item 220246179853 end time Jun-20-08 16:50:59 PDT)

There's people spending $2000 for about 15-20 whp. That chip will most likely make you lose power
