I WANT 240 hp

aiight when i get home i'm getting my max fixed. while i'm getting it fixed i was thinking about getting some mods to the engine. ebay has these chips that says it would add about 20 hp and if i get a intake and exuaust will i be able to reach 240 or around 240?

dont bother

Dont bother with those sensor things. They are like 2 cent sensors that do absolutely nothing for you. but the other modifications sounds nice

you're not actually making 190hp so to say(thats you HP at the crank), technically you are making around ~155-165 HP @ at the wheels stock....adding intake and full exhaust might have you around mid/upper 170s is my guess in an auto VE.

When it comes to performance (HP) upgrades on eBay, i haven't really seen anything that looks as if it really could work. Remember this is the same place that sells a battery powered Tornado and calls it a Supercharger. I've bought things like lights and a FSTB from eBay, but when it comes to HP gains, look elsewhere.

One thing you will notice about those cheap mods that "add 10HP"
-the seller never lasts on ebay. Check their feedback. They are always new sellers, or have negative feedback. Eventually, they will be gone from ebay.

Dont waste your money.
