Default tip chip and ecu

so i finaly saved up some money and i think im ready to put in the GIAC tip chip and ECU chip...i have a 2001 2.8 with 52000 miles, the oild changes were preformed by the previous owner every 5000 miles and everything up to and inculding the 60,000 mile service have been done...with all of this in mind do you think that these two chips will screw up my car in any way...i was thinking that the tip chip might screw up the tranny since it allready has 50,000...what do you guys think

Default My TB was done at 50k and I plan to do it again ataround 110k. The chipps are definitly both worth..

it. The car is much more fun to drive especially in tip mode. Although it took me about a year to really get good with the tip.

Default I think ECS sells a kit for like $350? I don't remember what I paid. be sure to do the water pump at

the same time and if you really want to get alot done while the lock carrier is removed do a EFK and a greedspeed snub mount.
