should i get a different chip?
ive heard that if you change the cam you need a new chip. ive also heard that the maf system is very adaptable to engine modifications.
my mods are in my sig. would it be worth it? the car seems to be running very well, the idle is slightly bumpy. i can definately feel the difference with the 113 heads, the increased compression-10.55, and the voodoo cam and roller rockers giving me .5/.51 lift. what do you think? if yes, who would you reccomend?
as always, thanks in advance

Absolutely you need a new tune.
Personally, for years I've used Ron Zimmer at Z Industries in California for custom tunes for my modified Corvettes. In my books he's one of the best.

New Chip: PCMFORLESS.com (Alvin) Great, check web site. About $200 for the unlimited chip replacement program. Get notebook and datalog software and send readings to Alvin to do the program, comes out alot better with data readings.
You can search and find all kinds of stuff on the datalog and software.

The easiest way to see if you need a new chip, injectors, etc is to get a scanner and look at the BLM values and, during a WOT burst, at the O2 sensor readings.
You may be able to get a chip that's "close" w/o scan tool info but such info is needed to get the most from your mods.
