PErformance chip GUARANTEED TO ADD 50+ HP 50+Torque and 3-6 MPG
Ultimate fail. Does that GUARANTEED part mean a dyno sheet is available? I'm tempted to call.

NEVER BEEN RACED, JUST WANTED A CAR WITH QUICK ACCEL
lol

Haha, he put his number there so I gave him a call. I asked about the "300ish horsepower" He said it was a performance chip made by SLR. and it "guaranteed" at least 50 hp and 50 torque...I was like, so it's not turbo'ed or anything? Nope, just the chip and the intake that got him to 300 hp. I told him i was VERY interested and would call back later. haha, the guy was a tool!

There's your answer... TWO butt connectors.
With those you will feel the power.

That is a memory chip, by the way...............

I'm not big on ECU tuning but i know that there are a lot of scams out there. People on reviews talk good and bad about the SLR Motorsports Performance Chip, which confuses me. But i came to the conclusion that I ain't gonna waste my money on it
