Rocket Chip?
I don't start many threads, so I hope this is allowed.
 My car is bone stock, but a friend just ordered one of these for his Mustang and hasn't plugged it in yet. Anyone know anything about it? Thoughts?https://www.rocketchipusa.com/

My only experience with “chips” per se goes back to the 1990’s. Back then there was a lot of snake oil and chips were one of them.

I would be leery of anything that piggybacks on the ECM through the Obd2. Might work but stands a good chance of throwing codes.

Don't listen to what other people say. Chips really work! The top name brand ones add as much horse power as a K&N sticker! And we all know how much hp those suckers add.

Remember the ‘Hot Fire’ spark plugs or whatever the F they were called? “Add 15HP.” (they didn’t) How about Prolong? “No Equal in the World.” (there wasn’t - good thing) I put their auto trans additive in a ‘92 Blazer 700R4 and it COMPLETELY DESTROYED that tranny.
I still ain’t no genius but I’m 30 years wiser!

You guys are too funny! My car is bone stock, so I wasn't seriously considering it for myself. But everyone here knows so much more than I do about this stuff. I was trying to help my buddy by gaining knowledge here and sharing it with him. He made a mod on a previous Mustang that he regretted.
I've read a lot of your advice on mods and tunes, etc. over the years, but was surprised I had never seen a thread on this particular plug-in "tune," that claims to be "undone" as soon as you unplug it. I do appreciate you sharing these thoughts...and jokes.
