Default Useless "performance" mods

With everything out there has anyone bought somthing that was pretty much useless? The tornado/vornado thing always seems to be in debate. Also what about spark plugs, plug wires etc... They make all these big claims yet alot of people say it's basicly a waste with noone really taking the other side.

So to save people money and stress feel free to list mods that aren't worth the money, etc....

Just kidding! But I would recommend a custom tune instead of your programmer.

I've really been thinking about that latley. There seem to be ALOT of people that swear by there custom tunes. My Super chips was bought in 2005, I think it was a 2004 so it's getting just a little old.

I originally used a Hypertech in my 2001 Silverado. Then I got a custom tune from Wheatley. I wish I had never bought the Hypercrap. There was no comparing the two.

I'm gonna look at calling them after I get a new bumper, airdam, and a stage2 since my stock clutch is somehow still alive. I think it died one night in Hawaii and came back, I got some zombie **** in my truck

Velocity stack. Maybe not useless, but, certainly not worth the 30 bucks.
