Check with superchips.

You can get a custom job done from ASE for a little over 400 dollars. I think you have to send your computer in, I think. I think Superchips is the same way. You probably wouldn't want to do this until you had all your mods together so you could give the company the info to tune your computer to the best they can. What I'm talking about is gears, transmission, headers, cam, heads,etc.... It all depends on what you want.

Why doesn't everyone go to Jet or Superchips and request that they make one. If enough people do, they might start making them..

Actually I think there is something out there for our 97 V6's its not a real type of chip or computer programming but its the caspers TPS enhancer. For the 97 its different though, you dont want to get it out of the summit racing catalog, you would want to go to the grand prix store online. Ours is a inline 3 pin connector for others which summit sells is the circular connector with the 3 pins in a triangle inside of it. I think the website is www.grandprixstore.com.
Best of luck

It's a cheap mod that really doesn't do a whole lot. You can also get it from SLP or RK Sport. One thing about it is that in some cars, such as mine, it cuts off the air conditioning. So, it might not be something that you would want to invest in specially since it doesn't really do anything. They claime 5-7 HP but I didn't really notice anything.

We have been calling them. I remember I called Superchips in June and they said they were coming out with something around the time of Holloween. Holloween came and no programmer. It's all [img]graemlins/bs.gif[/img] . I think the problem is that they said they can't get enough power out of the tuning and also that our 95 1/2-97 computers are real hard to hack.
Don't put faith or hope in those companies or into a programmer coming out any time soon. It might happen sometime but for the time being the only choice is for a custom job.
