07 Fit Performance Chips??

I'm thinking about buying these performance chips for my car. How do these chips work? Am I going to see a big difference in HP change? What's the difference between this and the ones they sell on ebay?

Thanks for your help

The only thing you will get out of the "chips" is a lighter wallet. Look at what they're saying nothing specific just a medoly of words to get you to think there is something out there that can give ya 60 extra HP for 70 bucks...... if that were really true how many of us do you think would be Chipp'n out our rides??
IF IT LOOKS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE ...................IT IS!!

Why I'd rather wire brush my teeth and gargle with laquer thinner.

That "chip" is a complete load of crap. A retune is specific to the powerplant, modifications, and desired outcome. Honda spent millions developing the ECU for the Fit. Does anyone really think a $69 "chip" can improve on that?
Most of the time reflashing the ECU results in only MOVING the powerband, not improving it (more power in the upper range, less in the lower, etc. ), and reflashing is usually a waste without other modifications (cam, intake, exhaust, injectors).
