Hey Brian, you still have that number I gave you for Howell. I told you man, they would hook you up on a chip or atleast tell you where there is a place in your state where someone else could. IM me when you see me online.
I've heard stories that Hypertech chips actually leave you with less timing than stock. With your mods you definitely need to get one custom burned to run right.

i still have the 2.73s untill this spring when i get the 3.73s. with my current geras i am at around 14.3 probly.
the only reason i havent gotten a chip yet is because so many people have said not to get one from a "mail order" type place...they say that in order to get one done and done right, that the place ahs to put the car on an engine analyzer and run all these tests. without having the car in their hands, it swont come out right. at least thats what i have been told.
