Default Need chip help/advise...

I have a friend (good guy, but why he is driving a Chevy I'll never know) who need help with where he should check for a chip. Any chip makers he should use or other bulliten boards he can check. He is driving a 1994 Camaro Z28 LT1 350 Auto.

Default Chips are almost useless on NA engines

I don't know where the Chevy boards are, I'm slumming as it is when I go to the Ford ones :-P

The phenomenon of 50+ hp gains from a chip is limited to turbo engines.<p>Todd W

Default Re: Chips are almost useless on NA engines

In addition, the use of a chip almost always requires the use of Super Unleaded gas. Assuming you're using regular for that 350 of yours, that's a constant extra expense. (most turbo cars use Super anyway, so no big deal).
