Default engine chips?

wondering if there are any chips that actually give you hp on the 350z. this guy claims to have a chip and an intake, gaining 40 hp..

I think he's more interesting in selling the car than being factually correct.

This Car has the ZEON headlights. People comment on the color all of the time.

This car is very quick (Almost scary), so it's not meant for the high school kid

sorry, but this guy seems really sketchy. I mean its one thing to buy a salvage title car for a project if its from someone who knows WTH he's talking about. its another thing to buy one from some moron who obviously doesn't know his own car very well, and is willing to fabricate things to try to sell his car (i.e."This is the performance edition (Therefore it's a 6 speed transmission with a high performance clutch) and you can definitely tell because of the additional power."). who knows whats true and isn't or how well this guy took care of his car.

Back to the original question.

NO

You can however get a reflash by Technosquare that will help you if you have added Bolt-on's. If you are just running an intake and exhaust there is no need for the reflash. Just reset your ECU.

He's up front about a lot of issues with the car but what is he not telling?
