The SLR chip is a scam for sure after reading around.
They got 303 whp out of a stock 370z? Sounds legit!

Wow...was checking out that website and they are dyno-ing a Camaro and a Corvette that is AWD. I didn't know the Camaro and Corvette comes in AWD.

Frost,
Will your special paint make my car doors more solid sounding when I close them, so I can have Miata doors...?

George Steinbrenner sprayed my paint on his chest ... sped up his heart till it popped. Remember guys, my HP adding spray paint is for automotive use only. Keep it away from your chest, penis, anus, face, etc.

Even though the chip doesnt give HP or TQ as claimed, it HAS to do something... Otherwise, why would anyone buy it at all? Speaking of chips, Im hungry now..

Does it have to do something in order to sell it? Short tube intakes are proven to give no HP gain or actually lose HP on Zs, yet people still buy them up here.

I've got a pair sitting in my garage. Thankfully, I got them for free as part of R&D and yes... They provided a loss of around 5 or 6 whp if I remember correctly on the dyno. But you know, all the Honda minded individuals wanna see those perty air filters under the hood attached to them perty chrome pipes!

I'm not sure you even GET a chip...I remember when I bought a Greddy chip for my A4 it cost me something around $500 so for $69.99 you probably just get a big f*ck you in a box after they've already f*cked you.

Meh my APR chip/flash gave me really good gains on my A4.... Infact its the best bang for the buck mod. I guess if you didnt have the 1.8/2.0 Turbo then... it was no doubt a waste of time.
