what about a performance chip?
don get a chip. get an actual handhelp tuner. ive heard good things about the fuego tuner and its a 100 bux less than diablo and sct. you can also use it on any model car within a certain make.
ive "heard" good things about ebay chips to

diablo maybe, i think its easier to use then SCT, but an SCT from justin at vmp is the best way

It's 190 hp at the crankshaft. The drivetrain has to transmit this power to the wheels, thus losing what you actually get to the wheels. Damn physics.

Whenever you see what a car is rated at, it's usually crankshaft horsepower.

Sorry dude, single ports have less than that, my old 98 dynoed @ 125.4 rwhp and that was with a cai, pulleys, fresh tune up, exhaust, and custom tune on the diablo, dynoed @ 120-121 without any diablo tune.
