It's a lot of work, for little/no gain.

That being said....I have a MAP ECU from a 1990 corvette with a chip if you're interested.

This has been covered extensively on the boards. The gain with a stock RS will be minimal as at this point, the engine and exhaust are what is slowing the car down. Better investment would be to upgrade to a full 3" exhaust with headers. That will go a long way to freeing up some power. GM has a penchant for using the some of the worst exhaust systems, even on their better engines.
