I've got the shoehorn if you've got the cash!! Muhahahahahaha!
Sometimes its good to be Evil...
If you want bang for your buck get a Turbo or Nitrous. Nitrous is easy on the pocket but if you keep having to fill up that bottle it gets expensive. Turbo is pretty much a one time cash drop that keeps giving power ...till something breaks.

My observations with dynoed chips is : save your money. In a word, they
do practically nothing, sometimes even less than nothing and most require
running high test gas as well. Any gains they report are usually limited to a small
portion of the curve, and are essentially inconsequential. Go over to the major
chip tuners and examine their dyno sheets closely. I don't think you'll be impressed. Cold air induction systems are also available at a healthy price and the two tests I saw showed a max 2HP gain (within error of measurement).
"Cold air" is a euphemism - the air is not noticeably colder than what comes thru the stock system. If it were that easy to gain appreciable HP, GM would have done it for the little it would have cost them. Realize that air is moving thru the intake pipes at a high speed and has little time to heat up.

Does that mean you think the after-market cold air intakes are not worth buying then? I thought they were reporting about 10 HP gain with them.
Sorry you are getting knocked around Bobscars. PM me if you want to know what they find so funny and maybe I can help. Don't know what you bought but I can try to help.

thank you for the reply & not being awise guy like some others
I'm not trying to be a wiseguy if you're talking about me. I'm being serious when I say PLEASE tell me it's not the eBay chip. All it does is trick your engine into running rich, which after about 100 miles or so your ECU realizes what is happening and reprograms itself to correct the error, thus rendering your 'chip' useless.
So I'm just praying that you didn't fall for that scam. I'm concerned to be honest. I don't want to see fellow Solstice owners bite into lame scams like that.
