HHR Performance Module +25HP Kit

Has anyone had any experience with the Optima High Performance module. It's only $20 on ebay. Too good to be true??

I have never heard of it but after reading some of the feedback and looking it over I can tell you that is is not a computer chip. If it were a chip you would not have to cut any wires. With aftermarket performance chips you just clean the contacts on you computer and plug them in. I had to run a wire on my last car because I used a flip chip (3 positions 1-factory,2-high performace,3-custom) but I didn't cut anything. I have installed and help install several chips and have never seen one that you have to cut into anything. Whatever they are selling might work but I doubt it. Buyer beware!

I haven't used that brand of performance module butb I did use another that I think is the same type. If it hooks into the air temp sensor it's the same and they do work. I had one on my frontier, It was a good product.

Sounds like the old air injection and water injection devices that were sold to improve gase mileage. Sounded good technologically, but really didn't work.

Do you mean like the water injection systems for a turbo setup? They are to cut down on detonation not increase horsepower or gas milage.

If it sounds too good to be true

If it sounds too good to be true it probably isn't. Manufacturers put a lot of time and effort to put out their vehicles in as good a as mileage and operating condition. Don't you think that if there was a way to cheaply increase mileage or power, the manufacturer would do it?To pass the EPA testing the motor has to be in top tune, or it won't pass.
