You want a chip that is tuned for your car based on dyno numbers. You also have little to gain from a chip if your motor is stock or near stock. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>TheBrain</b> <br /><small>Member # 35</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,1,12,22,59,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> A chip makes your wallet $500 lighter and your car 6 tenth and 6 mph slower<br /><br />At least that's my experience <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="rolleyes.gif" /> <br /><br />Brian <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
