i got a JET Stage2 chip in my car. I got a lot of mods in my car, cam, intake, afpr, trans. Some people say take it out and itll runn better since its not gonna be pulling soo much timing? Or leave it in?

my vote is to leave it in, since you already have it. The stock chip was just designed for stock operation...
