chip for 85 LB9?

I have a mostly stock 85 trans am, and I am looking for more power. Does a new chip help a tpi system much, and if so where can I get one?

No do other mods first until you get to the point where you need a custom one then invest. My hyperteech is worth about .1 sec in the 1/4 with all my mnods vs the stock prom. Now TPIS sayes they can gurantee me .4 sec with a level V chip or .5 to .8 with a custom depending on the tuning I do with the fuel and timing.
