Default FAST vs. Chip

I currently am chipped in my 88 LX with 347 and D1-R. My local shop is leading me to believe that with a chip-tune i leave allot of power on the table because you do not have access to all the things you do with the FAST system.

My car is primarily a street car with a big blower- it makes Dismal horsepower for the tune it has... 28 degrees ramping to 21 total and 18# from the d-1R... it makes a whopping 431/522 at the rear wheels.

We are all under the assumption that with FAST we could pick up the 100+ hp that my tune seems to be missing.

Obviously $$ is an isssue so i would like to know if you think that you can achieve a sharp-as Fast tune with a Good chip tuner.

Truthfully- the ex-street racer in me just wants th throw a 50 shot on there and be done.

thanks for the help.
