Chip? Yay or Nay?

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?

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.
