a generic spoon, mugen, skunk2, etc. chip was tuned on a certain engine with certain mods, then mass copied and sold as a one size fits all chip. which is not the case. most times, they just dump in a lot of fuel, advance the timing, remove the rev and speed limiters, and sometimes disable CEL's. avoid these if you actually want performance.

a better solution is a programmable engine management system. there are many to choose from. hondata, aem ems, uberdata, crome, etc. which one to choose depends on what capabilities you want/need and what your tuner is most familiar with.
