I can think of many other things I would spend $350 on before using it for a chip.

I'm not saying chips aren't worth the money on other cars, but to me an N/A bolt on only car isn't going to gain that much from the chip. I guess if you look into how much the speedcal and the sims are, it's a little cheaper, but I still wouldn't spend $175 on 7 rwhp.

I don't even run sims on my car, I'll just leave the CE light on until it burns out.

On the flip side, would you ever put a catback on a N/A car? $350-$500 for MAYBE 7-10 hp. The chip is the way to go IMHO because very few people will either a) leave the car to just basic boltons or b)never get a power adder. (a flip chip with N2O is nice). For the cheap price of a reburn it is a good investment if you go to the right shops.

Do you own a Torch Red FRC and tremble every time you drive under I75 on Hwy 60 and look in your rearview mirror? If so you are suffering from what is known as Cobraphobia.
