dyno tune is the best way to tune your car. handheld tuners suck and there is no such thing as a chip for a 4th gen fbody

I agree however my WS6 prefered the Poore Brothers Jalapeño Chips, it really spiced her up!

Seriously though, as mentioned above there are no performance add on chips for these cars. Get the tuning software (HP Tuners, EFI Live etc.), a handheld tuner (Predator) or see your local tuner.

Good luck.

All 4th gens have a chip, some just are flashable through the obd port.

93's you needed to remove the flash chip, flash it then replace it

94+ the flash chip does not need to be removed.

In any even there are many different options for the OP, check out the sticky at the top of this section for them

just post a thread about in your state section and ask where you can get a good dyno tune at around your location... also try calling some performance shops on the board and they will most of the time be more than happy with helping you out. if you have any ?'s hell i wont mind trying to help ya. everyone has been a newbie at one point and time, you gotta start somewhere.
