Performance Chips Work?
How well do the Chips work i had one for my V6 firebird and did nothing but i have a 305 TPI Trans Am now and will it do much for the V8? I did some mods to it all ready with 160 therm, K&N Air Filter, MSD Ignition Amplifier, Hypertech Cap and Rotor Kit, Jet Throttle Body Airfoil, Performance Exaust with the cat gutted out. Thanks.

No, they're not worth it. You can accomplish the same thing by advancing your distributor to about 10 degrees initial, installing a 160 degree thermostat, and installing a lower temp fan switch.
