Yep
But free up the exhaust and intake first.Put a K&N down the rh font in the cold air stream.
Then go the chip. :roll:

on it's own there wont be much change except for the engine being a bit more responsive (read crisp) in the low to mid range.
with the rigth exhaust size and a better set of plugs (and leads) you'll find a nice increase but don't expect 40+ HP though

yeah ive got a chip and intake, 2/1/2" exhaust to magnafolw back box. i havent been in a stock one, but the chip does take power up to around 135-140kw avertised at powerchip.com.au thats where mine came from back in '96
so exhaust and intake help aswell

Whats wrong with factory plugs and leads ? Just be sure to get the red/orange leads over the black ones since they are a supercession .
I leave plugs alone until the car is modified , then I put in one range cooler .

Giac chips are $650 .

Sammy had his car chipped (Giac) , lightened with custom cold air intake and a set of semi slicks and ran a 14.4

I have a 2.5" exhaust, high flow cat, a carbon dyanimc airbox and a 3" cold air induction. Im looking for a chip to get the most out of these mods, and would i be right to fit better/differant plugs? I've just fitted new leads. Could/ would someone recomend a chip? or would i be better to fit a good computer.
I figure a computer might be the way to go if i change the cams.
