What size what chip you say? The most powerfull one that you can cram in a 305. IF anyone knows or has an idea I would appreciate it.

Most people would agree that unless it's a custom chip it's not worth the silicon it's printed on.

Well I was mainly talking about the cam. The chip is just to make sure my computer doesnt crack out on me.

Expect 10-15HP from a mild upgrade, and up to 25HP for a more radical one.
