Hey im looking to buy a chip for the ol' camaro. it a 99. ive got about 500 to blow on it. any recommendations as to what chip is best/preferred?

Buy a predator, have wait4meperformance.com(?) burn a programm into it and install that. You can have a custom tune and a gas mileage tune.

You'll probably get a bigger improvement from other parts for that money. IMHO, a chip doesn't do that much for you.

A tune and dyno is always better that buying a chip. More $$ but you get what you pay for.
