All it is is a $.10 resistor (which is NOT a "chip" at all, just a resistor) that you install into a sensor to "trick" the computer to make it think the sensor is reading different than it is, which can cause all kinds of problems. If it gives any increase in power, it would be very minor, at best. But it can ruin the catalytic converter, other sensors, and drop the fuel mileage drastically among other possibilities.
