Default To chip modify or not to Chip Modify................


Does a chip modification provide much of a performance difference. (1/2 sec)If so what chip would you recommened? I know there are different stages with different set up modification. Im not looking to get crazy but I want to modify my car so its not considered stock.

Technically, you can't chip an OBD-II car, but you can reprogram the PCM and yes it does help some depending on how wild your mods are.
