Racing Chip, Should I? and How Much $$$
I own a '87 rx-7, non-turbo with a bunch of upgrades, recently I've thought about getting a chip for it. I'm fairly new to the world of rx's and have virtually no clue what a chip does.
Could someone please fill me in on what a chip function is and how much one would cost.
Thanx

It's waste of money on an NA - there are several folks that will argue otherwise, but I'm still waiting for dyno sheet to prove there are actually power gains from the ECU reprogram.

You could get a S-AFC and lean out the midrange on a dyno. Costs about the same as a chip
