Chipping does work although you want to be sure of who is chipping your ECU and that the A/F curves are correct for your particular engine build and that the VTEC point for your particular build is at a proper RPM range.

There are limitations to what a chip can and will do but for the most part they are effective when programmed properly. I would however stay away from ebay chips all together.
