The only way to optimize a chip for your car is learning how to burn them, and properly tuning the car yourself.

Installing an aftermarket chip is like install new points on an old distributor, and not setting the timing.

There are plenty of threads here about what people have **found** in aftermarket chips

Save your money. The only good chip is the one you make yourself. The off-the-shelf chips like from Hypertech are worthless. They cost too much and do very little.

it seems like they only add timming and some fuel. why fuel??? they must think that most the people with a K&N and a flowmaster are in need of more fuel.
