Performance chip?

[realspartan]

Hi guys,

I have an all stock 87 Grand National with absolutely no mods. Which chip would give me more power and better driveability; a Kenne Bell Ultimate Street Chip model 9006-U3 or a Red Armstrong 93 Street Chip? Turbotweak can make me a chip only if I put in a high pressure fuel pump with hot wire and at least a Bosch "237" fuel pressure regulator . What horsepower and torque increases can I expect from both chips?

Regards,

The fuel pump and hotwire needs to be in there no matter what...repeat FUEL PUMP AND HOTWIRE IS A MUST!
The turbo tweak trumps the others hands down. You cant beat the tuneability, idle and cruise with the TT chip. I would even consider the others. Even for free. Its that much of a difference.

Good luck

Agreed. You shouldn't even consider a chip until you have a hotwired pump and can adjust fuel pressure.

You can expect knock on 93 octane with any reasonable amount of boost, a bit of tip-in stumble, less than great idle manners, but a nice fat healthy midrange power curve.... those chips are dinosaurs by todays standards.... do yourself a favor, replace the fuel pump (the original was BARELY, if at all, adequate when brand spanking new), wire the new fp with a hotwire kit, slap on a stock-appearing bolt-on fp regulator, and buy yourself an $85 piece of modern day TurboTweak technology.... the improvement in all driveability manners will amaze you..... you won't recognize the car after the changes.... and you won't be sorry..... :wink:

Are you starting to sense a trend here???




Seriously, build your foundation first. Even with the stock chip a better fuel pump is cheap insurance towards helping your engine survive. When it comes to fueling, lean might be mean but it also kills (head gaskets, that is).
