Don't waste your money or time, the "improvement" for the cost may be minimal. It might actually be cheaper to get a tune through ZZP (ZZP 1.0 2.2/2.4 PCM) but you will have to send your PCM in.

This comes up every so often. Those chips are trash from what I have heard. The best option is to tune using HPTuners. ZZP uses HPT and they are good option as stated above. The other option is to buy HPT for your self, and then you remotely tune the car using any tuner you want. That option gets a little more expensive as you have buy HPT and the tune, but gives you the ability to data log and send that info back to your tuner. I have seen I. A few case someone uses a friend's HPT and buys the credits for that unit, then thier friend moves away and now they have to buy the credits on someone else's or what have you. I always suggest buying HPT for yourself. It is expensive but in the end I feel it's worth it.

Performance Chips are exactly like extended warranties: a scam. As Blue mentioned, the real way to get more performance out of your vehicle is with a tune, and having somebody experienced knowing what tables and values affect the car.
