Gave my car a real boost!!!I sold the car because the wife wanted to go back to a fox body!!! As far as the 89GT, you would be wasting money on a chip at this point. Learn to tune your car first. You get a chip when your modifications exceed the the factory computer specifications.... Try a set of gears if you have not done tis swap already... best bang for the buck.. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
