holy hype batman!
and no its not gunnu add 40hp for ya...
if i was gunnu add something to make the engine think its cold outside i wouldnt wanna hack some wires and find somewhere to put the box for $40.. i think the slp one looks better myself, only $25, but they only claim 5-7hp, and i'm guessing it'd probly be ona SC 3.8.

Not a chance. While greatly exaggurated, there will be slight power gains, only in the summer, but nowhere near 15 HP. The only thing this module does is trick the car into thinking the air is colder
"It simply connects directly to your intake sensor"
When the air is colder, it is more dense, so the car puts more fuel into the engine to compensate and keep the air fuel mixture at the EPA reccomended 14.7 So if it's hot out, the chip tricks the car into putting in more fuel than it needs. Meaning you might see a slight boost in the summer, but mileage will suffer. Also, the chip doesn't change what it does at any throttle position. Why would you care about a few hp while cruising on the highway. The most expensive part of the module is the OEM plug connector, internally I doubt that it's anything more than a simple resistor. Read the feedback. A lot of it is "fast shipping" etc. only a few claim any power boost, and they were probably imagining it. Who would want to admit they paid any amount of money for a bogus item?
Keep your cash and fill up the tank once, that'll get you further than that "chip" ever will.
