Usually, no. Do a search on chips and youll be amazed. Since it came with the car, you didnt waste money, but I wouldnt buy one.

Go here: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/tbi/...free-tune.html and take your time reading all thru this. Also read the stickies at the top of this forum. Volumes of information you cant buy anywhere.

They will help with other modifications but on thier own the best you can hope for is a little increase in torque due to quicker spark advance over stock settings. Other advantages are removal of speed limiters, and delayed torque converter lockup. correct me if I'm wrong. SQZBOX.
