tuning chips are a waste of money dont fall for that bs
Agreed, any of the QUICK + Horsepower items are a waste of time. All of these items will only work with supporting modifications, (ie: spark,fuel and air differences) and once you change ONE component it WILL simultaneously affect the others.
Cold air intakes do NOT add more power, power is usually most restricted at the plenum, it would be like using a 2.5 inch downpipe on a turbo with a 3 inch exhaust system......Where's the logic?
The quickest way to make your car quicker, in my humble opinion, is to lighten the flywheel, change the rear end gearing, Ignition upgrades, advancing the timing etc...., and then of course there is head work, which we all know starts to add up, but again without intake manifold upgrades there's no point.
But that's the whole point of my argument, if you want a fast car you need to pay for it. Is it going to be a race car or a daily driver? You have to decide.
Remember:
Cheap and Fast is not Reliable.
Cheap and Reliable is not Fast.
Fast and Reliable is not Cheap.
