can i reap any benefits from a chip with a 5spd?
i have a 5spd 90 iroc and i want to burn my own prom, but seeing as i can regulate my own shift points and what not, which is what i thought a chip mainly did, will it help me out? i was talking to my friends dad who is really experienced with older cars and familiar with our cars, he said a chip makes a difference in reply to my request to beat my friends 97 cobra...so, if i get the software and what not from what i read, could i drop a few ets from it? im very good with computers so learning wouldnt take me long. how significant of a drop in ets do you think i can experience with the right burning?

Course you need to check local laws about street use of a modified calibration
