Need 300HP, IS a chip the answer?

Has anybody seen any reliable power chips for our cars? 270hp was nice for a while but I need to push my TL to 300hp in order to keep squashing all the new 07 cars. Lexus and infiniti are already at these numbers, how do we get there?

Unfortunately, no one is selling an aftermarket chip for the TL.

We're also now down to 258 HP per new SAE testing standards, which means that you'll need about 50 HP to get to same HP as IS and G35s.
There are some supercharged TLs running around on this site, and lots of the posters are running CAIs and slightly modded exhausts. That's probably the only way to get near 300 with our 2004-2006 cars. Down side is 1) cost and 2) additional noise. There is also mention of NO2 in a couple of threads, too, but I don't know how that's worked out.
The 2007 TL-S supposedly has 286 HP out of a 3.5-- it's cheaper to trade your car in for one of those than to go with the Comptech supercharger and other mods to get our cars to 300 HP.

Remeber the first TL aspec that acura introduced that had the red leather seats and 18s or 20s???? That TL had some kind of modded intake and was pushing over 300hp. Does anyone know anything about this modded intake? Theirs gotta be a way besides blowing major cash for a supercharger or new car.
