I have a 1989 camaro iroc-z with the 350 TPI in it. I was wondering if anyone has gotten one of these hypertech street runner chips and if they are worth the money to get. Any noticable horse power gains? etc. Thanks.

 

Had one of those a couple years back.

I LOST 2 tenths in the 1/4 mile, no bs!

 

holy **** that sucks, a friend of mine got one and also lost a couple tenths, i just wanted to varify if this was true.....damn.

 

I would say that you sould be happy you came here and asked that first, otherwise you would have wasted alot of money on worthless crap.

 

i put one in my 87 GTA and it seemed to have a little more power. the rev limiter was eliminated (used to cut out at 5200-now would go past 6000). got mine for 25.00. worth that much-but would not have paid more.

 

TPI cars never had factory rev limiter....from mileage/timing chain slack, the chips' advanced timing may have helped, but thats all folks...

 

my gta would completely cut out at 5200- you could not get any higher rpm with the stock chip. with the hypertech 6000 was easily obtainable. it would go higher-i just felt 6000 was pushing it, so thats where i shifted.

 

And what did you have done to the GTA to get ti to rev that high.

 

Not True. Try 10,031.02 RPMS Fuel Cut-Off. Thats from a stock L98 A4 and stock LB9 A4 binary.

 

stock motor, added dual cats and cat back system. stock trans, rear was changed from 3:27 to 3:45.

 

fuel cut out? i guess I learn something new everyday. - Mine would turn 55-5600, but why? it was done by 5000 so...why? as for turning 6k, either your tach was off, or you didn't like your motor. No factory style intake/cam makes power to 6k. Thats like these Hondas turning 8k. They talk like its cool that they can turn that, but they actually quit making power at around 6000...
