Who cares? Numbers are for those who are insecure of their cars abilities.

260rw ???

i would focus on intake/exhaust before you do any internal upgrades. Make it breath better! Different intake elbow, *maybe* a bigger TB, some Long Tube header, with a good free flowing catback, or x-pipe system.

Headers and exhaust are your best bet. Along with gears, tires, and suspension you will see good improvements. Things not to buy would include a throttle body which is a waste of money on anything at your power level.

For one thing that chip isnt making you **** for power, it just controlls the fan temp and stat.
