To tell you the truth your money would be better spent by going out and picking up everything you need to burn your own chips. The chips that come from companies are just mass produced and are not made specifically for your car. Just ask Glen and others on this board they know that it is almost a waste. You could always call up Ed Wright and tell them everything you have in your car and they can custom burn you one.

Those chips will help you out but they are not made specifically for you car with the mods that you have done. I would go out and do some other work like a 3" catback, high flow cat, headers, then some other things like suspension work. Just my thought you can call me an idiot if you like but I think an exhaust would make your money better spent.

Yep, I would say do exhaust first. A good cat back system is pretty cheap (except for borla) and will make your car run/sound/look better. I wouldnt expect any major gains from a chip. Most people I know who have put them in (not custom) have gotten .1-.3 improvement in the quarter tops.
