Stock chip is fine, the aftermarkets are a waste of $$.
Once you start modding it then have someone tune it on a dyno to get some good results.
Come up with a good gameplan of the mods you want to do first.

The chip is the last thing you want to change in your car, after all of your modifications are complete. If you get one halfway through the process, you can drive it but won't get the best out of the tune and will eventually have to get another one anyway. Best to save your money for better things - and stay away from those cheap gimmick chips like Hypertech.
