Help With Mark 8

I bought my mark 8 2 months ago and so far i love it. i have chrome rims dvd in dash sun roof ect.

i love the fact that its a luxery car with the hp but my question was what are some cheap ways to add more hp without possible damage to the engine. racing chip, headers, cold air intake ect.

plus i might just be nervous for no reason but i feel like after a month or so i lost a little power to the car and every time i frive the car after a little bit the check engine light comes on could these be related and is the light probably os related. Thanks for your help!

A good chip will give you an additional 15-20 horsepower, improved shifts, ect.
Stay with your stock exhaust manifolds, just have a good 2.5"-3.0" cat-back exhaust made.
Maybe replace the catalytic converters & oxygen sensors.

Do not get the 50 buck chip.
Contact Lonnie at Blue Oval Chips Inc.
Hit the link I put up for "Cleaning your MAF Sensor".

You might notice a slight increase in performance.
Your miles per gallon should be slightly better.
