if its like those ones that raise your redline to 9000! then it will fuck you up plus your car wont make any more power past your normal redline. if you were to do some internal work then it would be beneficial.

Unless it's a factory forced induction car, you more than likely won't see anymore than a 5 peak hp gain from an OTS chip.
