Chip Your Car
Anyone tried this?
Sure looks like snake oil, 60hp with a chip plugged into your OBD2 port. https://www.chipyourcar.com/ |

Chips aren't necessarily snake oil with all cars, see this I4 engine thread: https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=540779

I agree and I wouldn't do it, just wanted to address the "rip-off" aspect.
On the other hand, cooper1965's point in that thread about encryption is very salient, the time when ECM/TCM tuning will be physically impossible is around the corner, so this may be the only remaining option...
