Well, the automatic chips are different in that they lock up the trans in certain situations. I believe the manual computer also adjusts the idle for inbetween shifts. I did the T56 swap and used my same computer for a while. I got a SES light every once in a while, but it was definitely runable. As far as getting a new chip, I owuld just try out what you've got now and see how it works. Good luck! You'll love the T56!!!

Ah great, as long as it should work with little sideeffects then I can live with it, 150-250$ can be spent elsewhere! thanks

 

$150-250??? The chip is about $80 from GM. Or about $44 if you know anyone at a dealer.

If you read the post it says hypertech chip, not the stock one.

 

Coo. That's a $hitload for a chip, BTW.

 

yeah, they are like 180$ on thunder racing, but i never bought mine it came with my car and i need it or i have to get a custom one because i have a 160* thermostat

 

Keep your current chip. Its not like Hypertech or anyone else even offers a generic chip for a 350 TPI with a 6-speed.
