A freind recently told me I should get a chip for my car. How would it benefit and what types and brandsare good for a 94 with my minor modifications listed in my sig?

A chip would be a waste of money right now with your mods.. If youget more mods later on then a custom chip would be worth it..

+1. It will cost you about $300 or so and you'll have minimal gains at best. Wait until some bigger mods are purchased. In the meantime, if you havcen't done it already bump your timing up a few degrees and run a higher octane gas.

+1 Get something more noticeable 1st.

Just to add...that is a good mod list you have going though. But you don't have to start thinking about the chip until you get something like a supercharger / turbo. You may also want to look into it if you do a full H/C/I swap with larger injectors and a larger MAF. Then it may be beneficial.

+1 to that, also at this point like the other said it would be pointless if that were the only upgrade you were doing, it would be like adding just a throttle body to a stock motor and expecting large gain......ummm wont happen. but coupled with a h/c/i combo it wouldcomplement the whole package

please tell me if its possible and what kind of benifits will i have from it..

How to advance your timing

Follow that link and you'll be all set. Don't forget to follow it exactly. Many people just browse through it and forget to remove the spout connector. Expect to gain a couple HP for each degree that you advance, the timing. So if you go from stock (10 degrees) to about 16 degrees, expect something in the area of 12 - 15rwhp, as well as better throttle response. You should definitely be able to feel the difference. You will most likely need to run higher octane gas though.
