the 2.4 guys have noticed a lot of difference. However there is, as of yet, no chip option for the 2.2 engines. We are all still waiting. If you want to know check the 2.4 performance forum and look for the posts there.

If you mean the chips being sold on ebay, NO!!!!
Us with the 2.4 can have our computers tuned. I had mine done by Matt @ Tune Time, one of the supporting vendors here, and the difference is amazing!!

I was told by my Chevrolet Dealership Service Manager that its not a chip. GM has not put Chips in cars since 1996, You will have to purchase what they call a Programmer and Down load the Solfware and then Up Load the New Solfware in order to get more HP.
The Cost is between $350.00- $450.00
and it takes about 1 Hr to do. I hope this helps you. Good luck and if you purchase this and have it done let us all know how it turned out.
Good Luck
