Unhappy looking for a performance chip..HELP!

hi i just bought my 05 tl not too long ago and well i already want to add more to it so far i got a CAI and i changed my pipeing from the cat to the Y to 2 1/4 and sounds like a G35 .... well i was wondering how i can add more hp with out buying a 3k S/C -_- so i found this chip on ebay do you think its a scam??? the only real reason i wanna buy it is because once i hit 5th gear my rpm's take forever! to go up and well i lose speed :[ is there anyway to bypass that ???

heres the chips link

Welcome, and yes it is a scam.

And you should really learn how your transmission works, why the rpms climb steady in 5th gear. Good luck with your search.

Nothing really. If you want a significant HP increase you're going to have to spend some money. Comptech S/C, ATLP exhaust, ATLP J-Pipe.

The Chips are simply garbage. No working ones exist for the TL. There are thousands of threads on chips that say the same thing, so I will close this one
