Just got my 06 Kia Spectra EX - Suggestions please?

[JSA]

Hello everybody! I'm 100% brand new here, and I hope to learn
from the Kia owners here more about my new vehicle.

After 10 years of driving my 96 Grand Am, I finally traded it in this past
Tuesday night I and took possession of my 06 Kia Spectra EX.





It has an automatic transmission, as it is my full-time vehicle, and I
wanted something easy to drive in the winter.

So far I absolutely love it. Great gas mileage, SIX airbags!, enough pep
to do what I need to, a huge trunk, and nice rims. It is a great car.

My first questions are these:

1. I've seen the Ebay mod chip "resistor" that supposedly boost HP here:

eBay Motors: +20HP POWER SPEED CHIP KIA RIO OR SPECTRA ALL YEARS (item 330074149849 end time Jan-28-07 19:30:00 PST)

I've read on this forum that it is junk, and actually may harm my new car.
I'd love to find a cheap mod chip or ???? to add HP to the car, and any
information on what I could do would be very much appreciated.

2. I've also seen on Ebay the "Vortex Generator" shown here:

eBay Motors: SAVE ON GAS!!! Kia Rio/Spectra/Magentis/Amanti (item 270081026341 end time Jan-25-07 15:50:06 PST)

Is that junk and a ripoff too, or would it actually boost HP and/or
increase my fuel mileage?

Those are the only two things I want to do to my car so far - boost HP
and increase gas mileage if possible (two direct opposites I know) and
any information on how I'd go about either one cheaply would be very
much appreciated.

Thanks very much for looking!

all those things listed are junk and will not do a thing,

I second that - they are all junk.

Congrats on a neat looking car, and welcome to the forum.

You cannot boost power without a cost - the cost of this is more often reduced life, and fuel consumption.

Fuel savers are a hoax - good maintenance and conservative driving is the answer here.
