Default A chip...

I'm not exactly in the know when it comes to chips, ecu remaps and stuff like that. I wanted to ask if this chip is anything decent or a waste of money? Here's the link:

I didn't expect 50hp from it, I didn't even expect 20 from it, it's not a turbo where you can get 50 horsepowers by adding a chip to. All I was wondering if it would up your horsepower by maybe like 5-10 hp, and if its true that it would increase your fuel efficiency by 3-6 mpg. Relax.

EDIT: Because if it would bump your fuel efficiency by 3-6mpg and give a you a couple of extra horsepowers I think its very well worth it, I would love to get better gas mileage out of my car.

I didn't expect any real horsepower gains, but I was hoping the gas mileage thing was true, but apparently it is not.

EDIT: It's pretty ****ing obvious that the ****ing thing won't give you a 50 horsepower increase, and it won't make your car's fuel economy equal to a Prius. Though, is there anyway you guys could give an intelligent response and actually provide some information on why it doesn't do anything at all? Instead of "no it won't", "why dont you tune the car", and "enough with the chip crap".

If some company could use magic to get better fuel economy, don't you think Nissan would be doing that already?
