hey all i recently purchased my 88 gta. i have done all the free mods, and just finished up with the usual cap/rotor/plugs/and wire tuneup. other than the shift kit its all stock. my 60ft times are2.197 and with a 15.1 at 88mph. i am considering a chip purchase and was wondering what would go with my current combo. also would 4:11's really bring down those 60ft times. also when i go through the traps its only turning 3500 rpms. thanks...joe

Keep the stock chip, do your own custom chips, or find a friend to make you a custom chip. The off-the-shelf chips from Hypertech or Jet suck. They change very little and charge you way too much for it.

This one is better suited for the DIY/PROM board. Consider it done.

4.11s would be a total waste of time.
3.23s, or 3.42s are alot more like it.
You need lots of high rpm, to use 4.11s.
Your engien runs out of breat (cam heads exhuast) way before that.

I had 3.23s in my Cross Fire Firebird, and driving easy ran mid 13s.
