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, 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.

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!

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.
