Racing Chips?

Ive seen a few sites that sell chips for a second gen rx-7, they claim 20 hp and 20% more torque + 5 m.p.g!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone have one, and did it show these results?
And whats the average price?

Just seems a little to good to be true to me.

I just bought an Apexi' S-AFC for $315 brand new. I don't have it installed yet, but I've heard these are MUCH better and produce more gains (power and/or gas mileage) than do racing chips. Also, the chips usually cost in excess of $400 anyway, so the S-AFC may be your best bet.

i got mine S-AFC for $150, S-ITC for $150 but haven`t chance to install it yet (and tune it properly....)
i`ll have to get EGT and A/F ratio gauge for it probably (most likely there is no chance to get car on dyno here in cz)
