All the "performance" chips for Hondas are basically a hoax. Those chips really only work on turbo charged engines(IE turbo diesels, volvos, etc) because they basically just up the boost.

But on a stock engine it really can't do much, except dump more fuel in to try and make more power. I don't understand how they can advertise it adds horsepower and fuel mileage, you can't have both.

Thanks for your opinion. One more thing someone told me that there could be greater risk of over revving the engine because my car is automatic, he says with a manual you just shift gears before you hit 9k but wouldnt the automatic tranmission do that for you?

The transmission should shift before it hits the rev limiter.

And your engine can't rev anywhere close to 9,000rpms. I think the redline is 6 so the rev limiter is probably 6,200 or so.

Thanks for your help, I've decided not to get a performance chip the risk doesnt seem worth the gains.

no point to rev past 5800rpms....your power drops like a rock after that. You just revving to make noise at that point.
