Default Chip? Yay or Nay?

This all that I have done to the car. I want to get a little more to the 400 side on engine alone but I'm wondering if a chip is the right way to go. Any ideas?

1. 5.7L V8
2. LS2 Heads with Titanium vavle springs
3. Thunder Racing cam (224/224 .563/.563 112LSA)
4. Comp Cam timing chain
5. Manley push rods
6. Melling HV oil pump
7. NGK Tr6 Spark plugs
8. Metco Motorsports Billet fuel rain
9. 42# Injectors from EFI Componenets
10. 100 Wet shot nitrous kit from Nitrous Outlet w/ 10lb bottle and automatic bottle heater.
11. SLP Cold air intake
12. High Flow MAF
13. 72mm Throttle Body
14. 3000 RPM Stall from TCI
15. 1 3/4" Long tube headers, 3" y Pipe and 3" E-Cut out all from QTP.
16. A GMMG Chambered Muffler
17. 12 Bolt Moser w/ 3.73 gears and an Eaton Posi
18. Glow Shift guages (Nitrou Press, Tranny Temp and Fuel Press)

Dyno Specs:
Engine: 384 hp@ 5600 rpm and 391 ft/lbs of torque
W/ Nitrous: 475hp @5479 rpm and 661 ft/lbs of torque

with those mods, you should be over 400 unless the car isnt tuned... and no such thing as a chip..... need to get a dyno tune. HP is relative and varies from dyno to dyno. track times are where the real numbers are found out.

LSx engines don't use removable chips anymore. You need to buy a handheld, a mail order tuning or get it dyno tuned. If you want to do your own tuning, buy Hptuners or efilive.

Thank you. I'm doing 12 flat at 117 on street tires. I just got MT ET streets and I'm going to see what the times are now. The car was tuned but I always thought that I should have gone to another shop. Thanks again.

efilive is something I was always thinking about getting. Is it hard to use?

You have that many mods and you are asking about putting a chip in?
