Default T/A vs 6.0 GTO

so one of my friends from school has a 6L GTO, K&N, exhuast, chip.... anyways ran into him on the road and we did a 2 runs. first one was from about a 25 roll, for some reason i jammed in second so we lined up again. second time we went from about a 40 roll, pretty much fender to fender the whole time, then we slowed for traffic...... i need more hp, but it was a good run, i think i might have him from a dig, not sure tho

I raced a stock one when I was stock from a dig, his was auto. He won one and I won one but he also had a tire. Just raced a kid in town with a m6, catback, chip, intake and a tire and I killed him from a dig but from a 25 roll my car didnt kick down that fast so he jumped a car and it was dead even from there. Seems like a drivers race.

IDK. Its what the guys told me. I've always heard from "knowledgeable" people that the chip is the biggest waste of money that gets you nothing basically...but yet lots of people buy them?

Well I was just asking since just like your LS1 there is no chip you have to tune it. They were probably BSing like usual.

Maybe the "chip" hes talking about is the Doritos smashed between the driver seat and the center console. What a tool.

good runs, this "chip" he's probably talking about is 1 of those hand held power programmer's. there's one out there called "superchips", which is the same ****. i think that's where there getting this "chip" **** from.

yeah i'm gonna bet that by chip, he means superchips. Or maybe one of those crappy ones that you see on the internet. "25 hp for 30$" or something like that. You should get a tune, probably help you out alot. Unless your gonna cam it and then get the tune afterwards, that would be even better.

Yea people see that and think its amazing. Biggest rip off, yet its a smart idea on thier part. I bet they've made a ton of money selling BS chips!
