You could spend the money on that chip thing then spend the money for the time on the dyno if you would like. Remember you will need to get a base line to compare to so before & after install of the chip on the same car. It also has a lot of claims you would need to monitor such as fuel consumption ect. Under the link I provided earlier on piggybacks & standalones there was a link to Jet performance. You send them the ECU & they will chip it then send it back to you. There a few other companies that offer similar services. Chipped ECU are very limited to what you will gain in return & are generally set to certain parameters with no alterations can be made.

A full exhaust (header back), clutch/flywheel combo & a some sort of cold air intake is a good start. Try looking here they have some decent stuff. http://www.corksport.com/

Nah i didnt =\ im waiting, some day this week me and my friend are gunna take our cars somewhere to take pics. Also ive decieded to re-do my exhaust because my friends exhaust broke off rite before the resonator and it made the cabin viberate alot after 3k rpms jus like mine does, i think i have a hole in my exhaust so im going to cut off everything before the piping after the y pipe that was just replace to my new mufflers, i believe the stock exhaust is 2.25" should i replace it w/ 2.25 or go to 2.5, im gunna put a high flow cat too (magnaflow)

Nothing larger then a 2.5" if you do decide to change it & Maganaflow makes good products.

That header looks like a direct copy of the Racing Beat road race header. I'm just going to say this, with a complete exhaust & intake you will net some extra power, just don't expect a massive increase. They will allow the motor to breath better & are great starting points.
