Increase 173 HP engine to 267 HP for $700.

Yup ... You read the title correctly!

With just a few simple bolt-ons and a bottle of fuel additive, you can now increase the HP on your stock 173 HP HHR a total of 94 HP ... giving us now a wooping 267 HP! That's almost 227 HP to the wheels! More than the stock hp at the flywheel.

Yup ... 267 HP for a few hours of wrenching and very little money.

We don't need no stinkin' SS's, or superchargers, or N2O to make BIG power!

And here are the company's advertised HP gains to prove what I am saying:



K&N Aircharger CAI
Advertised Power Gain: 9 HP

Tornado 'Turbonator'
Advertised Power Gain: 7% (12 HP)

Pulstar Spark Plugs
Advertised Power Gain: 4% (7 HP)

CA40 Fuel Additive
Advertised Power Gain: 7% (12 HP)

AquaTune water injection ... with "Precious Metal Grid Hydrogen Generator"
Advertised Power Gain: 30% (54 HP)


Man. how could you not do this. Cheaper than a turbo or blower add-on.

Start your ordering today and your wrenching tomorrow.

Aw, and I just spent $700 on a lousy supercharger kit. Live and learn I guess.
Come springtime maybe we can race.
