Performance Chip Upgrade for V12?

Has anyone installed one of these? Does it make a noticable difference? I'm not really into spending a grand just for decreasing 1 second on my 0 - 60 time. But I would love to hear anyones comments or opinions on what legitamate upgrades get the most bang for the buck.

Pao Pao,

Where'd you find a chip for the V12? I've not seen one.
