Do these really work?

I was on Ebay and I keep coming across these Performance Mod Chipz. Has anyone ever used these? They look like a scam but they claim it works. What do you guys think about these products? Are they worth getting? Here's a lik to the product

Do stay away from that scam. Did anyone notice that there is not a 97-99 Impala? The article lists those years but there is no cars for them years.

True performance come from having your PCM reprogramed, not adding that junk.

Those junks are usually nothing more than a diode or resister that you install to give the PCM an altered reading, most of them will throw the check engine light on the dash and your mechanic will remove the so called part.
