I have an '88 GT and I had a hyperchip on that car. As soon as I changed to mass air I had to sell the chip. It made little performance gains IMO!

It didn't help much for me! I really didn't notice a difference, even when I went to moroso.
The reason you have to get rid of it if you switch to mass air, is because you have to change out the computer too, and they're not the same.

I would not waste money on a chip unless you have major engine work done. Even then get it done on a dyno!
