Default Anyone know if these work?

Hey everyone, first off I am the proud owner of a 2007 Monte Carlo SS, in Silverstone Metallic. Has 17,800 miles on it, and I have had it for about 2 weeks now. Came with BFGoodrich G-Force T/A tires, which have been spun a few times, they smell good by the way!

I have been reading all the great tuning and upgrade threads that everyone has been posting, but don't have the money to do the mods I want just yet, magnaflow exhust, and K&N Intake.


I was just wondering if anyone has heard of these SLR Motorsports chips that can give you up to 50 hp improve gas etc etc etc. Just wondering if there is any merit to thier claims.

Thanks in advance....

I have never heard of them, but also don't own an LS4 car. However, my advice is that if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is.

if there was, GM and every other manufacture would be installing them just for the fuel economy boost. Now, if you still want to buy, I have a series of magical incantations that will give up to 35 horsepower and up to a 3% increase in both fuel economy and ***** size...

Just paypal me $19.99 and they are all yours!

Haha basically what they said above is...no

If you want to improve power/mileage hire a tuner to tune your car using HP tuners.
