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.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by joes88gta:

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.
