Hey thanks yeah I think I will save my money for possible the supercharger i was looking into that last year when i first got it but now i'm thinking I will get it my car only has 75k miles so it's gonna last me awhile so why not go big with the supercharger. Does software come with the supercharger so it won't fry the motor?
Then after that you gotta prepare for the suspension issues (control arms bushings, shocks, tie-rods etc).

How, exactly, does one get a near 10% bump from a chip in a normally aspirated motor?
Its just not feasible, unless one runs things at the very edge of tolerences - which affects something - durability, fuel consumption, oil dilution, detonation, etc.
BS.
If i'm wrong, please provide details. Else consider this myth busted.

absolutely spot on. Forced induction will make a big change. Chips traditionally play with the large margin of error built into forced induction cars.
Of course, you can also raise the RPMs dramatically - but this doesn;t, and can't. The motor won't take sustained higher revs.
