What mods are ok with a Hypertech chip?
I've got a ThermoMaster chip, to be used with a 160 degree thermostat. Number 128 922. What can I do with my engine if this chip is installed in my computer? I know it changes spark timing, etc, so it can allow for a higher lift cam and what not but, I want to know how far I can go. I have a ZZ4 cam, Hot Cam springs and some other stuff. Nothing too crazy, I just want to make sure I'm not going to be messing anything up by installing these parts. If this is a constantly asked question please feel free to cyber-b!@#$ slap me and direct me to the proper tech article. Any help appreciated!

Unfortunatly Hypertech(aka Hypercrap) chips dont do much at all. It will undo your speed limiter, and thats about it. They said it does alot more, but from expierence it doesnt. In fact lots of guys here claim that it make the car slower. I think the zz4 cam is about the limit that you can run without messing with a custom chip. Guys that acually run that cam should correct me on that last statement.

Dont throw it away, put it in a box and send it to me, I'll even pay for shipping. Take a deep breath, dont go postal.

I'm running the Hypertech Chip.
Stock Cam and Heads, etc.
I think you should "Just go Carb"...especially if that's what you know. You will realie power gains faster, and easier, than trying to make the TPI work.
