1. Yes they really work.

2. Tell them you have an intake, they may do something different they may not. Tell them anyways.

Yes with the air intake you may be able to get the chip programmed fro more air flow availiable. I would also check out IPDUSA as they have nice custom chips aswell. Also you may want to do more engine mode before getting an ecu, as the more mods already done will add to the performance increase from a ecu remap.
