I would go with a MAF sensor thats tunable(SCT), TB and Plenum, and a K and N filter. Don't worry about buying cai because imo I think your just paying for a shiny tube that probally will conduct more heat than your orginial inlet tube. After the sensor, tb + plenum, and filter. I would try to have the call dynoed tyned if money permits.

A chip will be piggy backed onto the computer in the passenger side kick panel. (the area on the lower right side of the passenger front seat area). If it has a chip in the physical sense then you SHOULD be able to see it. If it has just been tuned then you will not see anything except the stock comp.

P.S. You have a '99 which means you have high compression, which means you need to go nitrous, not S/C.

Yea, the panel had a lil bend in it. It is the lowest pice of plastic befoure you ge to the carpet in the passenger comparment.
Yes, you would have to remove the panel to see if there is a chip on your comp or not.

do gears, about $150...3.73's for a 5 speed or if you plan on supercharging it in the future, 4.10's for an auto and for NA. install should be about $200. then go w/ a short throw shifter if you have a 5 speed. you will love these two mods. they were my favorite, other than my SC! if you've got an auto, do UDP's and K&N. skip the CAI. these will run you around what you are looking to spend. hope to help. have fun
