Performance chips!
 
Hi guys, its me again. Do any of you smart guys ( and gals http://www.mustangworks.com/interact...rd/biggrin.gif) know what kinda performance chip I could put in my 98 GT? I want one but how much do they cost and how much HP do they add? And, can I install it myself? Thanks in advance!

Install yourself? Yes, pretty easy. Need a wrench or socket(forget what size, but standard.)

What kind? SHM (http://www.seanhylandmotorsport.com), superchips(www.superchips.com), Johnson Motorsports(http://www.jmschip.com/).

But there are much more productive things you can do for the same money. Gears. other bolt-ons.

Most important advise: A chip will do little for you without a actual dyno tune, and/or without significant other modications.

I agree with 97Snake. Don't waste your money.
The time for a chip is after moderate mods, and you need a dyno tune to get everything working correctly...

Get some 3.73s and a shifter. You won't regret it!

Ditto on Hammer and 97snakedriver. Don't mess with the chip. For about the price of the chip get your 3.73s put in. Trust us. A chip is useless right now. (unless you burn rice) http://www.mustangworks.com/interact...rd/biggrin.gif
