Default Computer chips and electric superchargers...

Do either of these things really work? I've heard good and bad reviews about computer chips but nothing about electric superchargers aside from what they said at this site I stumbled on earlier today:

http://www.electricchargers.com/faq.htm

I was looking to add some cheap mods to my 1995 3.4 L Camaro (I ordered a cold air-intake yesterday) and was wondering if anybody had news in favor or against these two products and a good place to buy them at.

Both are worthless. 100% Junk. They will both hinder the car more than help.

All of them. Both of those items do nothing good.

Just go the usual route of a cold air intake and exhaust to start off with.

Indeed, a electric supercharger will take as much power by dragging down the alt as it will help produce by reducing the vacuum in the intake by sucking air past your filter. If you wanna get more go from your dough look into the basics first. Bolt ons are a great place and if your still not satisfied there is always the 3.8 or a V-8.
