I was wondering if any of those performance chips work. I doupt they would work as advertised but thought i would ask. I found this one on ebay.

NO!! Waste of money! If you want performance for the 2.2:

Intake
Header
Downpipe
Exhaust(no bigger than 2.5")
Better Tires
LIGHTER rims
Torque Dampener
Lowering Springs
Exhaust Manifold
Poly Motor/Tranny Mounts
75 shot of Nitrous...

generally on ebay

CHEAP PERFORMANCE = LITTLE/NO PERFORMANCE, oh course there are exceptions but this is not one of them.

 

Thanks for the quick response. I didn't think so, but if it really increased MPG it would be worth it within the first tank of gas

 

they don't, none of those little trick work, if they did major auto manufactures would have then in every car they made to improve there MPG rating.

PS i dont want you to think in stalking you b/c ive replied to all your threads
I just happen to see them on the front page and reply... Congrats on the car BTW, you'll deff. have to post pics in your welcome thread.

 

It's fine, i'm getting quick responses that are helping.

 

Yeah, those are generally just something that gets plugged into one of your sensors and usually they mess up things a lot worse. You end up taking them off after possibly damaging your car. A friend of mine bought one and it made his car run like crap, and basically it was just some sort of resistor.

 

Didn't think CHevy would let there be less efficent MPG and HP with a simple resistor.

 

Yeah, it will work. It will screw up your engine, after all, thats what its designed to do.

 

itll be like choking your chicken

 

but less messy

if you really want to try, there's a couple of articles around that show you how to do it for $0.10

 

where can i get my chicken choked for $.10????

 

 

come to surrey, i'll introduce you to a couple lovely girls
they come "pre-lubed"

 

your palms dont count dick crumpet

 

sorry, if you want my hands, they don't come pre-lubed.

 

Honestly, if someone doesn't know that a "performance chip" doesn't work, I wouldn't suggest them using nitrous.

Lowering springs and no type of struts that can handle the drop. Stock struts won't...

There would be a much better flow of exhaust with a actual header design than a manifold.
