Chip is a waste if you plan on continuing modifying the car. Go with the intake TB and plenum. They will give you more gains then just a chip. Wait on the tune until you are done or do something major like a cam swap or FI set up.

Keep modding, wait for the tune until you are done. But with all of your mods, including your cams, you should be babying your car around, I bet your air/fuel is pretty ugly right now...

WHOA! missed that! I hope you got a tune when you did those cams. The A/F must be really messed up. I am sure the car is not living up to it's potential!

RE: What to buy?

yea I figured I would be best with the chip/dyno tune. I do run 93 octane in the car now, and I'm not getting any detonation or anything. I think its alright for right now, though I know its not gettin the full potential. boy I wish I saved all the stuff I took off it when I traded it in 6 months ago[X(]
