Default Advice needed on Superchips tuner.....

Sup fellas,

I have access to one for $100, and I plan to keep my car as is for a long while. Would a handheld tuner like to Superchips 2725 be worth it? My car is an 02 Z28 with a lid and catback.

Thanks!
James

you would respond after I already bought it lol
For a bill I guess it's okay, I can feel a bit more throttle response.

it's all good, it certainly didn't hurt. Longtubes and cam are still a long ways away. I'll have a more accurate opinion once the car cools down and night time hits
