Ive been skeptic to put any chip on my car....
Id rather buy a piggyback unit to fix those. A chip is a temporary fix until you upgrade again.

I was going to get one, but found a custom chip on Ebay that I bought. It's made a real difference for me. I'm beating all the guys who beat me last year in autocross. go_speed-go knows the difference it made for him.

I've been wanting that chip for a while, but was convinced that it should be the last thing I do. After I get all my other upgrades, hop on a dyno, and send the sheet in with my ECU. Do you think I should do that? Or get it asap after the Intake and Exhaust?

With all that stuff coming, I'd wait till after the intake and exhaust are done. I'd do the chip before the ignition. The stock iginition is plenty adequate for NA applications.

Opinions are like........
I think that the following person is happy with it:
http://rx7.voodoobox.net/howto/chip/chip.html
I plan on getting one for my RX7 this summer.
$300 plus shipping-- I guess they had a price drop.
Now it is more in my price range.

knowledge junkie
Match the chip to your upgrades, ask EXACLTLY what aftermarket parts they were using on their cars, ask if it was a series IV or series V engine (86-88 vs 89-91), etc..
IT MUST BE TUNED CORRECTLY to get HP and avoid bad fuel economy.
