What I'm not sure of is how these chips boost our power...

Do they simply "add" 40 or 80 hp, as advertised, or do they "set" us to a power level that is "40" or "80" hp above some advertised stock level?

If it is the latter -- since vans are underpowered to start with (compared to trucks), that would explain the higher than advertised boosts that we may see or measure. Do truck owners experience this as well? Maybe we are just being brought up to "truck level".
