Performance Chip upgrade S70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be ryman on  Mon Jul 15 16:15 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I am considering a chip upgrade on my 98 GLT. Has anyone used this company's product, http://www.speedtuningusa.com/? The price is good but I am not familiar with them. Are there any concerns with using a company like this? Is it worth installing a performance chip, my GLT has 80K but I have all maintenance done on time and car is in great shape.

    I can't comment on the speedtuningusa product, but can state that my chip did increase the overall performance of my car rather impressively. I recommend chipping in conjunction with making the engine breathe easier (both air input (a new air filter element) and output (a high flow exhaust of some sort)). If you do chip, definitely get an exhaust of some sort. My SuperSprint setup wasn't that much - $600 or so I think - and didn't make it too much louder (just a little throaty).
