Buy It! Buy It!

45 hp for less than $20!

Fuck the $3000 SC, get this!

Someone should chat up that ebay guy, tell them if he wants, he can purchase the Azine sticker, +100 hp guaranteed.

they are being sarcastic dude, they don't work, don't bother getting one. People open threads about this all the time and get flamed so get ready for it.

I think its real!!!

Have you read their product description?
You just cant go wrong with this thing!
**Do not be fooled by competitors claiming 70, 100, or even 200 HP. These numbers are complete fabrications! It is physically impossible to attain such extensive horsepower or fuel saving gains using this same technology. When you purchase from us you get the same performance AND fuel savings with legitimate gains for a much lower price!
Q: Do you offer a warranty on your product?

A: Yes! Each module sold includes a LIFETIME WARRANTY along with a 100% money back guarantee. If you are unsatisfied with your purchase you may return the item for a full refund.
Extended List of Benefits
Improved Engine Life
Reduces stress on the engine increasing the life of your engine and all related components.
Increases the life of engine oil extending the time between costly oil changes.
Reduces build up on spark plugs and engine heads.
Improved Engine Performance
45+ horsepower at the wheels! Unmatched improved engine performance!
50+ ft/lb of torque. Even more torque is possible when installed on trucks and SUVs!
Improved Engine Fuel Economy
10 to 12 more miles per gallon when driving in stop and go city traffic.
12 to 15 more miles per gallon when driving primarily on highways.
and for only $15!?!?! AMAZINGNESS

I'm being serious: I think the chip might work. I read the sellers feedback on ebay and its 100% + feedback. he's sold chips to other car models and non of the buyers said that its a POS.

It's pretty amazing that's he managed to create a chip for 936 different vehicles (pretty much every vehicle made since 1990) and in every one of them it manages to produce 45+ HP and a 15 MPG increase. Doesn't matter if it's a '90 Cavalier, '00 Ford Focus -- or an '09 Mustang or Pontiac G8. Oh, and the nxrperformance.com website is awesome...
