Performance chips?

I'm looking for a cheap under 300$ chip to install on the ecu...I searched around on multiple websites and they all sell the same chips.
http://www.mazdarx8performancechip.com/
That link will bring up the three I found so far. I know nothing of the subject and was wondering if they even help and if they do which one should I choose.(If you know of other chips under 300$ please share). As far as my goals go for my 8; I want to squeeze every bit of power from it using only basic/cheap mods (hence the chip).
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Those chips work very well, I know a bunch of members on here have them and they love them. If you want to get the most power out of your 8 without breaking the bank, I recommend a cold air intake built out of pvc piping and use two cone filters to suck in twice as much cold air. 2 times the cold air = twice the power right? Second thing I'd do is go on ebay and look for an exhaust. Remember the bigger the tips the better. Go for a 4-5 inch tip for maximum power.

you need to do a search on THIS website for the answer to this.

I will tell you one thing though: your plan of increasing power by using basic / cheap mods is destined for failure.

fast, reliable, cheap.
Pick two, any two, but you can't have all 3.
