996 tuner chips

What if any experience has anyone had with the OBDII PLUG N PLAY tuner chips. I'm sceptical but curious. Brand, price and where purchased would be helpful plus year and model of your car

Simple: They are junk and not worth the money.

While I tend to agree, I have had good experiences with similar items on a team Honda race car. Cheap chip gaines a little top end and eliminated a mid range flat spot. I don't have the mid range issue with my 996 but who doesn't want a little extra

Considering the $1K complete DME re-flashes only provide small gains on 10/10ths M96/97 engines, and then only at the far upper end of the RPM range, nonsense that plugs into the OBD II port are simply a waste of $. These are not Hondas......
