the computer has to be reprogramed with hptuners. this is the only option.
I know ebay has the BS chip crap on there but it does nothing.

No, if you are thinking about those performance chips you see on Ebay, dont freaking do it. The only way to make your car perfrom better is with actual mods and tuning. Not a chip.

it costs $500 and you need a laptop. I don't know of any guides for it to help you program it. But depending on you knowledge level you might be able to figure it out with some help from their forum when and if you buy it.

where do you see it for 349 and 500? 499 and 649 are retail. The pro version has 5v inputs to record at the same time (such as wideband) and it can record without a laptop.

It depends on how you tune... you need to know what you're doing! You need a wideband sensor. You need to research and learn about cars before jumping into serious things you have no clue on.

not as much as you could with a modified 2.4
Really hptuners for a stock motor is not the best bang for you buck if HP is what you are looking for.

^NO! Nate quit confusing the newbs! 
no chip for 2.4. hptuners is all custom, but on a stock 2.4 its near worth the money imo. just go with the usual mods.

lmao thats good stuff. couple years ago id prob be googling electric superchargers
we are talking about the pcm here right? i have one ordered from mpracing but was slightly disappointed to hear it would only give between 10-15 hp. is this true u think? im having it tuned for cai, high flow cat, catback exhaust, 180 thermostat, and higher octane.
