Need Help!

I was looking a a pro chip for my sky, don't wanna say the name because of the rules. But I just want to ask what is a pro chip function? And do they really work? but just in case it is not against the rules I put the website on here so I can better get advice from those more experienced in this area. (moderator please remove if I broken any rules)

Thank you for your help.

There are other threads about these things on the forum. It looks to me like one of those resisters that trick out the IAT sensor. They make the computer think the air is colder than it really is and leans the engine out. If you have a SC or Turbo, your engine will not schedule fuel correctly. They do not give you better fuel economy and in most cases you will get worse do to reduced engine efficiency. They sell similar "chips" on ebay for $7.00 but I personally would never install one on my car. Rule of thumb, If it seems to good to be true, it probably is.
