Default Acura ECU chips??

Hello,
I have a 98 Acura TL 2.5. I was wondering if there is a aftermarket computer chip out there that I can install to control my fuel management. I heard there is a product called Unichip out there. Does anyone has any suggestion?

I want to be able to control the fuel curve so I can modify the factory values. I also want to modify HP values. Please help me

all those chips will do jack for you. unless you have a major reason like FI or something to mod the ecu it's not worth it

I agree. Unless your car is heavily modified (engine wise), a chip is useless.

well I have been looking at few computer add ons and I came up with few names that are not actually resistors or some other cheap crap.

JET V
UNICHIP
VENOM

They all cost the same, about 300-400 bucks and can be attached to a laptop. Anyone has any experience with the above or any other add on?
