I have 2004 Monte Carlo SS Dale Jr Edidition and I want to tune or but someone said chip it. Which we give me more POWER in the end? I want more power!

 

buy a tune, do not waste your money on a "chip/hand held programmer"

 

yep tune is way better

 

Neither is really going to give you any power. But a chip on our car is only going to short out your IAT sensor and either make you run lean or rich and screw your motor up.

Tune will make the car more responsive (if it's done right) but you're not going to gain much power just from a tune.

Either look into Overkill or ZZP for a tune. I would recommend Overkill, many here have and love his tunes, including myself.

Technically speaking, it is impossible to "chip" your car. Your computer uses EEPROM. It doesn't use chip's. You can only tune the car. Only "chip" option is to completly replace the PCM. The cheap handheld things are just generic tunes. If you want you car done correctly, get it dyno-tuned. You will spend a little more cash, but the tune will be done specifically for what you want and done to match your car's wear.

 

Not really, you can still 'chip' they just don't do anything aside from changing the fuel tables or some nonsense... they're worthless.

Look into overkill motorsports, they tend to have the best results from users around the site

 

Basically, yeah. You splice them into the IAT sensor, and it'll either make your car think it's taking in really cold air and run rich or bringing in really hot air and run lean. Which both will screw your motor up in a short amount of time.

Of course Will does integrate a similar feature into his tunes he says for track use, if you unplug your IAT sensor the car will think it's taking in 0* air to richen it up. Although I don't really see the need for it.

 

I'm going to take the car to my local speed shop and have them tune it for 400? does that sound like to much?

 

Is the $4000 including a dyno? You can get a tune for around $200 on the high side.
