Okay so im looking into getting some more gains in power and speed for as little money as possible and i started looking into performance chips and also these electronic shift improvement modules. I noticed after getting my headers and such in my car is having problems shifting out of the lower gears, like my start/launch from a light is slow cuz the shifting in going into such high rpms before shifting. SO i was wondering what my best bet was either a chip or these shift improvement modules...and would i really see a difference in power and such between either of these?

Re: performance chips/ electronic shift improvement modules
well since you have a 97 there is no chips for you to use. Your best choice would be to get a mail order tune from texas-speed.com or pcmforless.com
A mail order tune would give you the best bang for your buck and improve your shifts -
Re: performance chips/ electronic shift improvement modules
For texas speed it looks like they just send you the programmer for $225, but pcmforless it sounds like they send you a core computer and you send them your old one back for $150 and they basically build the programmer for your needs, so are both of these pretty much the same deal or is one better?

Re: performance chips/ electronic shift improvement modules
And here goes the debate on which one is better. I say PCM for less. they try to get it as close to your car as possible.1998 Red T-top V6 Camaro

Re: performance chips/ electronic shift improvement modules
they both send you a new pcm to install and you send yours back as a core charge. You don't get the hptuners program from themComment

Re: performance chips/ electronic shift improvement modules
So what if you get more mods done after you get the programmer, then do you have to send it back?Comment

Re: performance chips/ electronic shift improvement modules
sorry to hijack, but you said there was nothing for the 97, what about for the 93 3.4??Comment

Re: performance chips/ electronic shift improvement modules
yes you would have to send it back to be reprogrammed.Originally posted by 97iastatecamaro
Unless you bought your own hptuners for like 500 bucksComment

Re: performance chips/ electronic shift improvement modules
read the sticky, the item mentioned in the 3.4 sticky is going to be your best bet if you need to tune a 3.4Originally posted by tkoforpresidentComment

Re: performance chips/ electronic shift improvement modules
yes I have it for my car, it does not stay in your car, you flash the stock PCM with a new tune and then take out your laptop.

and yes it is worth it once you get heavy into moddingComment
