Time for a road tune?
I had a mail order chip burned by Fastchip. It ran OK.
Since then I have made a few more changes. I changed my gears from 2.73s to 3.07s. I changed my injectors. I had the Accel 24 lb. I switched to Trick Flow 24 lb. I replaced my main cat with 2 Pypes bullet cats. I installed March under drive pullys. I installed Comp Pro Magnum 1.6 roller tips rockers. I installed a Vigilante 2400 converter.
It still runs OK. I have talked to a guy about doing a road tune. He wants $495.00. I think that's a little expensive.
I can send my chip back to Fastchip and they will tweak it for $150.00.
I just ran a 13.9 in 90F heat at about 97MPH. The car will stall sometimes but starts right up. The idle is at around 700 RPMs once it's warmed up.
I'm not sure if I should leave it as is or spend some more money on it.

I suggest getting a wide band O2 sensor. With a gauge and/or datalogging you can see how rich or lean your car is really running and tune from there. I have an Innovate set up in my car and its a big help
