Do engine tuners like Superchips really improve a vehicle's acceleration and fuel efficiency?

yes they do, but be carefull how they work, some of them it does for awhile then the on board computer realizes its not running correctly and will start compensating and effectively tuning it out back to factory, so the vehicle is running close to factory again.

Also if it says "made in China" or "product of China" walk away. In Denmark we have had some cases of bad chips frying peoples engines. Obviously its mostly user error from start to finish and a manual written in auto translated mandarin (not possible, different syntaxes). If your little pisspot car is born with 150HP and you bought it with ten years on it. No less than 30-50 of those horses have escaped unless it was owned by an enthusiast/mechanic (It wasnt, they buy good cars. The cunt who owned yours didnt put fresh oil in it, ever). When a chip is then made with factory specs in mind and the AS (artificial stupid) have a brick walled 160 HP target, you are going to have an issue. Flooding if youre lucky. At least that is how I understood the quagmire and teary eyed dudes who warned others via our national propaganda outlet, comerade.
