Will also depend if you are running OBDI or OBDII. Not a lot of people burn chips for OBDI engines, I know tbichips and someone else does. OBDII is easier so you'll find more places that can do it. I wouldn't purchase a cookie baker chip, really not worth it.

cookie baker chip?? wtf.. i heard there was more obd1 insted of 2 bcuz they can get tunes and obd1s cant..

[haks310]

Cookie baker, e.g JET, hypertech and other products like that.

And you're last statement didn't make sense. There are more OBD1s because they can't get them?
OBDII is more computer controlled so it makes it easier to tune and get a chip for, apart than the fact that OBD1 is on older vehicles so demand for custom chips isn't really there.

[AtomicHoe094]

see i thought it was vis versa. i thought more OBD1 ppl would want chips bcuz they cant get tunes and stuff that OBD2 ppl can get.. u know.. like blackbear, they cant tune my 95 (OBD1)

[haks310]

lol oh okay. Yeah once I finish my headers and exhaust I will be going with TBI Chips to get a chip.

[AtomicHoe094]

you have an intake on yours??

[haks310]

No but that will be taken care of too if I can find something with my buddy Craig or ebay.

[AtomicHoe094]

nevermind.. just found out.. 99.. lol i like the tahoe rims on your truck

I had the superchips, K&N intake and Flowmaster on my 97 Silverado pickup. I did the mods at seperate times and here is what I noticed. Superchips was first...no real noticable difference. Flowmaster 50 series made a noticable difference. K&N intake was last and made the most difference. In short, save the $ on the chip and just modify your exhaust.

On a side note. I did notice a difference after the truck was programmed with the Superchip because I then had to use Premium gas. If you are not using premium gas now just switch to it and you will get the benifit of a Superchip!

I have a superchip, small magnaflow muffler, volant intake...about/close to 330HP

[AtomicHoe094]

330???? wth

[foreverfalcon40]

330???? wth

He forgot the stickers on his truck that say all of that. Add more HP.

[bowtiefreak]

330 at the crank? At the rear wheels? This is the stock 350? because if that is the case I think they were more like 220 at the tires. My mild 383 is about 350 at the crank, but about 500lbs tq at the crank too.

And yes, the more sticker the more power you make, duh! Just like on all those POS imports, the bigger the exhaust tip the faster they go. Makes sence right, 1.5" tubing back to a 6" tip. I tend to rant, I'm done now.

[AtomicHoe094]

damnit i forgot to ass those! thanks Falcon.. geez idk how i forgot that.. haha
