Both Items you have mentioned are WORTHLESS MODS. Read some Posts on those items before deciding to buy them.Originally posted by irocbirdbuilder

start with headers and gears and a posi definitly much more owrth it then the chip
thanks for the feedback i talked to my dad and he said the pulleys would be the only thing but not the chip and he knows his **** so i decided to go with a real good ignition module and coil instead my dad has done this on our old 80 chevy truck 91 suburban and 81 Z28 and was really impressed with them u can actually feel the difference yesterday i did the oil and used royal purple, definately woth the money thats all i'll ever put in her from now on the idle is smoother and u can feel a few extra horses i recommend that stuff

ive heard that the jet chips arent very good, but i have heard that the superchips are alot better. they told me at a speedshop that it called for a 20 hp gain.

If u can, do a custom chip, like getting someone to do it, or better yet buy the hardware to do it yourself. In the end u save money, u learn stuff, and u do what u want to do.
I have a friend who has the hardware, alls i have to do is buy the software, and were set.

Yep, the jet chip is worthless. It only mods the spark curve. It doesn't even turn the fans on early, at least on a 91 Z28.

hey, thats just what the book says, if i was dreaming it would give a hell of alot more that 20 hp.

Ed Wright has one of the best off the shelf Chips for the price. Its is better then some of the others mention here. I use it in place of the stock 350 GM chip with good results. One reason is that I do not have the time or equipment for the DIY chip burning projects.
