bad idea for a "first mod"

actually... let me re-phrase that....

You will see next to NO improvement using a performance chip with no mods... since the chip is tuned to work WITH mods... save the $270 and buy an O/R x or h pipe, remove your silencer and get an e-bay CAI... youll get better results

after that.. get some 3.73s

if anything would help, it would be a programme, not a chip. youd be better off buying everything else first, chip should be when you get everything together and want to tune it up good.

it would still be a waste of money... i have a full exhaust, CAI, TB, UDP's and i STILL dont need a chip

wait until you do something a little more drastic... like an H/C/I swap....

Spend that money on gears. Chips aren't worth the money until you get some mods, and even then you should get it dyno tuned instead.....
