I cannot decide which chip to go with, diablo or superchip, on my 02' GT 5-speed. The only modifications I have to my GT is an off road H-pipe and 40 series flowmasters. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Ive got a Diablo and have been very happy with mine . It made the engine a lot smoother and just helped out with overall drivability. I got mine to recalibrate my speedo after my 3.73's. I dont know how much its going to do for you though with just an o/r pipe. Im sure it will do something with the a/f, but you will need a full tune to get the best out of everything.

if you plan on adding more mods and staying n/a, i suggest Superchips Custom Tuning. they have a n/a package for around $400 that lets you program your chip or flash your ecu. it has much more flexibility than an off the shelf chip. if you plan on a supercharger or turbo someday, then you'd need the Pro Race Package which runs $800.

I agree. Wait until you get more mods, especially gears, before you get a chip, programmer, or custom tune. With only a few mods, it isn't really going to do anything for your car. You would be much better off with a new shifter, pullies, timing adjuster, springs, shocks/struts, subframes, gears, etc.

I have a Superchip for sale. PM me if you are interested. I put the chip on my car when I only had a few mods. The chip raised the rev limiter a bit and advanced the spark timing. All in all, the car felt powerful after the chip install. I had to remove it becuase now I'm running the KB switch chip with my supecharger application.

You can only sell him the chip if you guys have the same ECU code. Remember when you bought yours you had to tell them the 4 digit/letter code on your door/ECU. If they are different, it won't work.

You don't need a chip right now. If you do need one down the road go with an SCT tune.

Thanks for the your comments. I think I will just wait until I get more mods to my car.
