No Monte has a performance chip. Chips do basically nothing for these cars anyways. Sure you can tune your PCM but the best thing you can really get out of that is modified shift points. But he was probably just blowing smoke so he can impress people with the "I go fast" speech.

Oh yeah. I forgot about that. My junior edition has all the decals on it. Plus I have the embroidered front mats in my car right now too. Therefore I should be running a good 300 horsepower.

On a similar note. I remember that "tornado" thing they used to advertise on infomercials. That little piece of metal you were supposed to jam inside your air intake. It was supposed to make the air inside your air intake swirl around like a tornado, and give you extra horsepower. In reality, it didn't do anything but cost you money and put an obstruction in your air intake hose. Perhaps that dale jr edition owner you met has one of them installed?
