will a computer chip make a diff?

will a computer chip make a difference in my 94 camaro 3.4? this is only a work vehicle, but i got flowmaster exost and that made a difference.... will a chip change it? what other reasonable performance mods are there for a v6?

Do you have the dyno sheets to prove it? Or is it just one of those "Wow, I xspent the money, so my car IS going faster!" deals?

12 hp's from just a chip...somewhat thought provoking, if nothing else.

But, if you do have the walk to back the talk, great, I'm convinced that chips are a decent $300ish investment.

those chips are not a decent investment. especially for 300 bucks. for 300 bucks you could get a custom tune from texas speed and know that it will work.

the 3.8 engine is totally different compared to the 94 3.4 60 degree, like comparing apples and oranges.

Uh huh. As long as we are using this thread to plug V6 sites...

Personally I would not worry about the computer unless you have done serious mods.
