yes, that chip will open up your cars untapped potential. you'll be killing SS/SC's left and right.

it was my first mod for all of my cars.

the GTO especially loved it.

best mod for the money, imo

All that "chip" does is alter the intake air temp sensor so the car gives more timming. Very bad way to go!!!!

At higher intake temps you want timming to decrease not increase. Increasing timming like that causes knock.
