I am thinking about buying a performance chip. supposed to get better gas mileage and more torque, also more HP. The reviews I have found are mixed. Most say the shifting is smoother. The company that makes the one I am looking at is Innovative Performance Chips. Does any body here have one? I have a 4x2 sport, 2.4 6 speed auto.

I don't think anybody on here has heard of a performance chip for the Patriot, otherwise half of us would probably have it by now. The engine and CVT are amazing, just tuned to be too slow. I've heard the 6-speed is supposedly better, probably only because Chrysler wasn't scared to experiment with something they're familiar with. No reason to have gears like that in a Patriot though, and it's still never gonna be a Corvette. Would be nice if somebody actually had a product that worked for us though.

Just found their website, looks legit enough, but I don't know how well it'll work with Chrysler's overprotective computer in place. If it works, most of us would likely be interested.
Here is the info from amazon. I cant figure out how to link it. So I just copied and pasted it. It is for the patriot. I also checked out the manufacturers site. Looks legit. I just thought it might be cool t try out, something different.

please don't buy that..............it will not do anything, but if you must please post back your results,
Point taken Tyler. It was just a thought. I havent seen anyone post anything about the chips, so I thought I might try it. That is what is so great about this forum. Alot of people share their knowledge and it helps in the decision making process. Maybe i will still check it out sometime in the future, but for now ill probably spend my money on some other mods. I am really wanting some better tires. Thanks for the reply

I would definitely stay away from it. They are usually just a resister wich causes your car to run rich. If it doesnt plug into your obd2 its not going to remap anything. With VVT, other than adding turbo there isnt much more hp to gain.

I've posted that a few times. I know that this topic has been discussed a number of times the last few months... NOT worth your money. I've done a lot of vehicle tuning in the past. All of it required either swapping the ECU, or directly programming the ECU. If you are not changing the software in the ECU, you will not have any real effect on performance/fuel economy. This includes adding a high flow intake or exhaust.

its just an air-fuel spoofer. makes your engine think it's running lean. only problem is VVT is way too smart to fall for that crap. there are no ECU performance upgrades available for the Patriot at all
