[UncleMike]

Has anyone used or heard anything about these? The prices seem WAY too good to be true.

Thanks,
Mike

Lemme guess... ebay shit right?

there is no chip for your car, dont bother with it.

[UncleMike]

Indeed. I was just looking to get some alloy's for my car, because it came with the black steelie's and hubcaps, and I came across it.

What the hell is it?

BTW - New to Grand Am's and even Pontiacs. Is there a sticky somewhere for the most common/easiest/cheapest mods to do?

Thanks again,
Mike

this link should help you with whats up with that chip.
as far as performance mods, most start with the intake, and then exhaust. I don't know jack about your engine, so I'll stop there and let some of the 3400 guys talk about what they did.

Theres also a search button in the top right corner or every page that will let you search through threads by keyword. That come in real handy for most topics and problems.

Yet another resistor in a box. http://www.gaownersclub.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=102

Don't waste your money.

How the hell do they get away with that crap?

^ it is Ebay, what can ya do = \

Some vendors for the 3400:

www.milzymotorsports.com
www.doctorspeed.com
www.rsmracing.com
www.pfyc.com
http://www.fastfwdperformance.com
www.donkeypunchperformance.com

There is lots out there, do a search.

Intakes you can get from Ebay, or from one of the vendors, although RSMs is more of a WAI than a CAI (warm air intake, cold air intake)

Exhaust can be bought in package from SLP, Borla, or you can get Milzys kit, which is probably better than the two before it (uses Magnaflow muffler)

RSM has a Vortech supercharger kit, but it has a few problems, not even sure if they offer it anymore. DPP has a turbocharger kit, although I think they might be down atm.

DHP (Digital Horsepower Inc) makes a custom flashed PCM or you can get the Powertuner they offer and do stuff yourself.

Tons of stuff, might want to try searching for it.

People that don't know otherwise or that don't see/ignore their negative feedback. Some think it actually works due to the placebo effect.

I don't need to be going that crazy. Some alloy wheels and a sunroof will be good for me, I think. When stuff wears out, I'll upgrade.

Thanks guys,
Mike
