I dont know if you would be wasting your time... but you would be wasting your $. You might see some decent gains, but nothing that is really gonna "wow" you.

if you get a chip might as well get 90 stickers and put em on your car as well, between the chip and the stickers ur looking at over 1000hp

Chips were a think we all got 'back in the day' when nothing else was available and we didn't know any better about timing and fuel pressure and other things. Certain ones could provide 10 hp, but now you can get that hp free with the knowledge we all gained from the past 20 years...

Chips suck. Crap. The only way a chip is worth anything is if it is a custom tuned chip. Even then, they don't excite me. A PMS might excite me but a chip won't.

No. A dyno tune and a custom chip are pretty good. I think everybody was thinking "over the counter" chip. Still, I think a PMS is a better buy.
