Computer Chip Worth It??

My brother can get a Performance Chip for his 91 RS for $50. Is it worth it? It's a Jet Stage 1 chip.

Hell NO!

I got a Jet stage 2 chip for my old blazer when I did the 2.8 to 3.4 swap and the jet chip did NOTHING over the stock chip.
Theres a reason the chip is being sold for $50. Ed's got a sticky in the TBI or TPI board ranting about how much aftermarket chips suck I supprised you havent seen it yet.

If the carrier has a socket that the PROM plugs into instead of being solidered in it'd be worth it just to save trouble when doing custom PROMS.
