Now don't quote me on this, but I believe it'll change your bulbs from a nice amber to something more a tacky red and flash like a strobelight, similar to all those cool Honda ricerockets out there using LED's w/o resistors. Consult w/ Pentosins website for specific fluids :P

When I was an F14 PC in the Navy, we'd mess w/ new recruits w/ stuff like this. Obviously muffler bearings wouldn't pass, but we'd get em w/ blinker fluid and "go get the keys for plane 11"....oh the pranks we played.

Yeah, when the spam calls for car warranty contracts kept bugging me I tried getting coverage on my 2004 camaro, but they couldn't seem to find it in there system? They told me I must mean cavalier as they show that. I asked if the cavalier came with a V8 and they responded "I think so".... idiots.

We got one of the porters when he was doing an oil change on his old chevy truck. When he was under the truck I unplugged the fuel pump relay when he wasn't looking. He kept trying to start it with no luck :D. So when he wasn't looking a few minutes later I put it back in and grabbed the smallest hammer I could find. When he came back by the truck I gently tapped on the front corner of the valve cover and told him to try it... it cranked right up naturally. He was dumbfounded and asked what that did, I told him his "valve pressure sensor" was stuck and he must have a clogged "fluid coagulator" that to have happened... You know he spent hours on the phone with autozone/napa/advanced auto/o-reillys trying to find those parts?!? Still never told him better and he's waiting to see if it happens again with the next oil change. (If I'm there it will :D:D:D)

All I'm trying to say that, even in your own words, if its too good to be true, then it usually is. If you want performance mods, get software from someone like www.powerchipgroup.au or $$Dinan$$.

Good god! I just visited www.powerchipgroup.com and for the low low price of $840, I can get a whole 10hp and 10ft/lb of torque! Not worth the time, effort, money and risk of imploding my engine. I'd rather save my coin and buy a BBK or an aero kit or a great set of rims or .....

I'm not sure which motor you're referring to, but I see $640 w/ a minimum of 14hp and 12ft lbs of torque on a stock motor, and upwards of 16hp and 19ft lbs of torque (i'm guessing w/ intake and exhaust). I've never used Powerchip on either my 7 or my X, but they were VERY popular in the M5 groups when I had mine. I personally wouldn't buy just software, i'd also do intake (cone filter/tubing manifold swap) and exhaust mods beforehand, making the software a better bang for the buck.

$$Dinan$$ isn't much better for just getting software alone either for $399. They only get 9hp and 11ft lbs of torque on a notoriously conservative tune compared to others.
