That looks pretty cool.
If you find VATS is still giving you trouble then this would be the way to go. =

Or for about the same price as that thing Ricks Camaro sells, you could get a tune that has VATS disabled & ACTUALLY bypass the VATS system instead of just bypassing the key resistor.

Talk to Brian at https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/member.php?u=138103
he's the best at tuning these chips and removing the VATS check. He did it for my 88 GTA and it's been working flawlessly for almost 3 years.
