ok so go do yourself a favor and walk into ANY tuner shop and ask the same question and watch as they ALL laugh

the whole "chip" thing is a ricer joke now....

also you dont need to "chip" your N/A car unless you are running some serious modification and you need to change the way your ECU performs...

an intake and an exhaust do not count as major modifications...

you would need a "chip" or rather an ECU upgrade/reflash or even a standalone fuel managment system if you had a fully built engine.... such as performance cams, forged internalls, p/p intake and exhausts, high flo fuel pump, bigger injectors, etc etc etc...

the only other time you would need a "chip" is for aiding in tuning a Turbo'd motor, something you dont have...

so dont waste your money on some "chip" go buy something that will improve your car and your driving... such as bigger or better brakes---->upgraded rotors, performance pads.... or maybe suspension ---- > coil overs, or lowering springs on upgraded struts since stockers can die if on lowering springs, bigger sway bars....

this kinds of things will save your life and your car... tossing some chip into your car at its current level of modification would be like putting a screen door on a submarine... totally useless and a waste of your money...
