Does anyone have experience with that kind of chips to increase performance?
Is it real or just another bs?

Don't do it.

These are generic, not model specific, trick your ECU, and not worth the waste of $99.
Have you been able to find people that have had this done to their Cadenza as yet? I would be concerned about if there will actually be any real results.
Like Will said, these are basically "placebos". They kinda fool unsuspecting buyers into thinking their cars run better. Will can also tell you what kind of PITA it is to do a tune on modern cars...not for the faint of heart (or of little money).

for pure shitz and giggles, im gonna email the seller for spec sheets and dyno sheets.

I wish... It's hard enough finding someone that's put wheels on their car, lol!!!

For those that don't know what I've gone through....

Let's just say this.. I'm on my 3rd motor in my Optima. :D

Let us know what they say. I bet it will be SUPER generic.

Will, I'm pullin' for you on that sad saga. I look forward, though, to what your next project motor is like on the Optima. I'm hoping it all turns out well and that the new motor ends up a "gold mine" in new products. Your customers will benefit. Go dude!

Thanks John. It's been an experience for sure. Especially since the dealership tried to call and tell me today that I owe them an extra $1g. LOL.... Looks like they screwed up and are asking me to fix it, AGAIN.

I wouldn't pay. They quoted you a price, and you paid. Their fault.

Why are you on your third motor?

What have you done to your car?
they never replied to me email about dyno sheets

Kept blowing up motors....

That doesn't seem surprising, sadly.
