Superchip like device for Genesis? Best peformance mods for 3.8 Sedan

[carguy75]

Hello 5 year old thread.

“Chips” are snake oil. Always have been.

They work on some cars, but mainly on turbo engines with electronic waste gates that can be manipulated into creating more boost. Turbo engines can gain a lot power(50+hp) when the stock boost level is raised such as the 3.3T, however the engine usually become trash(blown piston rings,turbo bearing failure,etc) at 100k miles or less when ran like that since most stock engines internals were not design to run long with such power levels.

N/A engine gains are usually pretty low with those tunes from maybe leaning out the air fuel ratio for a bit more power. Gains are usually no more than 10hp tops over stock.

Seems the coupe guys get all the love.


I'm looking for something that will eliminate the speed limiter, increase transmission line pressure slightly and maybe allow better programing for a CAI. If it could also eliminate the throttle delay that would be good too.

I also want something that's easy to return to stock if I need warranty work.

I've contacted a few vendors and nobody seems to make anything for the 3.8 V6 sedan guys

Eventually I want to start racing at the dragstrip and I'd like to get my Genesis down into the mid 13's. I think a CAI, Tune and Firm Shifts could do that. Would be fun to go out and upset some BMW's or Mercedes.

I’ve read this whole forum and I’ve been having the same problem. There is no support for these cars. I have been itching to do anything for this car so I was wondering what I should do. Whether it’s a CAI or whatever.
