i've always wondered the same thing... thought about trying them, but the way the 3.2 is set up, would need to buy 2 of them and at 70 bucks a peice, was not sure if it was a worthwhile investment.

Omey is right, they are a scam.
No HP increase only a nice idea packaged well and totaly useless.
I know people who tried and i know a guy that sells them, he even told me it does not work but some people insist on installing them.
your 500 should have plenty of power stock,
i know mine does, 315HP acording to the owners manual,It has not disapoinded me yet when it comes to get up and go (considering the size and weight of the car).
how are those center caps.....are they in yet?

from my understanding more HP = more gas, is that true with a chip conversion?

the differnence in gas consumption is almost non existence. it all depends on how u drive, if you hammer down the throttle more... yes your gas mileage will go down, but if you drive conservatively it can go up. so its really a moot point. Also the chip helps improve your shifting as well .
the chip is essenatially a clone, it was probably a brabus or renn-tech chip back in the day and then someone finally got ahold of the code after everyone stopped making chips for it.
